Netflix announces unlimited parental leave

At Netflix, we work hard to foster a “freedom and responsibility” culture that gives our employees context about our business and the freedom to make their own decisions along with the accompanying responsibility. With this in mind, today we’re introducing an unlimited leave policy for new moms and dads that allows them to take off as much time as they want during the first year after a child’s birth or adoption.

Great, great move by Netflix – especially considering it’s an American company. Technology companies are raking in more cash than ever before, and it’s great to see a small number of them investing that money back into their own employees, and not into foreign tax havens or CxO’s pockets.
