Starbucks is increasing its paid parental leave for baristas to up to 18 weeks for birth parents and 12 weeks for nonbirth parents, expanding access significantly.
According to CEO Brian Niccol, after gathering feedback from employees, the company sought to improve benefits, acknowledging the need for more adequate parental leave for new parents.
Despite this notable enhancement in parental leave benefits, baristas will see smaller raises this year, reflecting the company's performance difficulties and sales decline.
The expansion of parental leave also connects to unionization efforts among Starbucks employees, who have cited improved parental leave as a key demand in their negotiations.
