Setting the standard in maternity
benets for women globally
In 2015, we launched a global maternity policy that
sets a worldwide minimum level of maternity pay for
women in 30 countries. Vodafone is one of the rst
companies to do this.
From Africa to the Middle East, women at all levels
of our organisation will be entitled to at least 16 weeks
of fully paid maternity leave and full pay for a 30-hour
week for the rst six months after they return to work.
Our policy will make a big difference to around
1,000 female Vodafone employees each year,
especially those who work in countries where
there is little or no legislation to support them after
having a baby. This will be good for our business too.
KPMG estimates that global businesses could save
around US$19 billion annually by providing 16 weeks
of fully paid maternity leave, because it helps cut
recruitment costs and retains valuable knowledge
and experience within the business.
