Why Paternity Leave Matters with The Dad Shift

Why Paternity Leave Matters with The Dad Shift

Did you know the UK has the worst statutory paternity leave in Europe?


Are you aware of the significant long term implications of reduced parental leave?


And did you know that countries with better statutory paternity leave also have a smaller gender pay gap?


In this episode, I am joined by Alex Lloyd Hunter, co-founder of The Dad Shift, to discuss everything from why he’s putting paternity leave on the agenda to breaking down traditional 1950s family stereotypes.


This is one of my favourite conversations that will really get you thinking a bit differently about parental leave.


So find a comfy seat, pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy the conversation…
