Fuse’s Parental Leave Policy: Equal Support for Every Parent

At Fuse, our purpose is to connect people with opportunities to achieve their dreams.

This isn’t just a catchphrase; it is the driving force behind what we do every day. Not only for our candidates and clients, but for our people too.

At Fuse, we envision ourselves as the vehicle for our employee’s success. Each day, we strive to implement industry-leading practices that prioritise the well-being and success of our team so our people can thrive inside and outside of the office.

Over the past 13 years, we have played a role in more than 13,000 candidate journeys with over 1,000 employers, gaining insights into policies of all shapes and sizes. In the world of employment policies, we understand that simply having a one to tick a box is not enough; it must be inclusive and equitable.

In our pursuit to lead the way, we studied policies across both recruitment and broader industries, extracting valuable insights to shape our own policies. Our diverse, considerate and supportive team is the living embodiment of our values, extending beyond the workplace into every facet of their professional and personal lives.

At Fuse, we are a family.

We believe in breaking down the barriers that force individuals to choose between a thriving career and a fulfilling family life. It’s not an either-or scenario; it’s about having both. With this commitment in mind, we are excited to unveil our latest milestone: our Paid Parental Leave Policy.

This isn’t just a policy; it’s a testament to our dedication to supporting our team members on their life journeys.

About The Policy

Our approach is not just about ticking the boxes of meeting the minimum legal requirements for parental support. It’s about striving to exceed those benchmarks and to set a new standard that reflects our commitment to delivering for our people.

We firmly believe that no one should ever have to compromise their career because they want to have a family. Our Parental Policy is not just a document; it is a commitment to our people.

We believe in people, and we believe in their ability to excel in their careers, and as parents.

Our vision extends far beyond our immediate team – it encompasses a future where all parents, regardless of their gender, orientation, or family structure, are accorded the same opportunities and support in the professional arena. It is this vision that has driven the formulation of our new parental policy, which sets a new benchmark, not just within our organisation but for the entire industry.

Leading The Way

Beyond Maternity Leave: Our policy goes beyond traditional Maternity Leave by embracing a broader perspective on parenthood. It recognises that parents, regardless of gender, can benefit from allocated paid time off at any stage in their child’s life.

Inclusivity: We understand that families come in diverse forms. Our policy caters to same-sex couples, adoptive and foster parents, kinship, and surrogacy arrangements, ensuring support and celebration for every family, irrespective of unique circumstances.

Fuse Employee Benefits

Our holistic approach to employee benefits reflects our genuine care and dedication to employees’ personal and professional prosperity. We firmly believe that by looking after our people, we empower them to thrive in their careers and live fulfilling lives, and this is precisely what our benefits structure stands for. It’s not just about the job you do; it’s about the life you lead.

Our Parental Policy was created to enable our people to embark on their own journey of parenthood without compromising their career aspirations. It’s a reflection of our values and a commitment to leading the way in the recruitment industry, setting new benchmarks and advocating for a brighter and more inclusive future.
