Hi all, I am looking into our parental leave policies. We are a small business based in the UK and I'd like to offer some kind of pay enhancement for all new parents while remaining inclusive. I'd be really grateful to hear from any similar sized businesses (approx. 100 employees) about what they've done - whether this was to enhance mat and pat separately or offer the same for both parties. Thanks.

Figure out what you can comfortably offer and then extend it to both parents.

And just make sure that what you offer the man can't be gifted to the wife cuz he will be pressurized to hand it over and she will probably take it.

Men need time with their kids too.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out
