Working life is getting longer, but the first question many people over 50 still hear is ‘when are you going to retire?’.
And it’s also a symbol of how important older workers are to their companies and to society. Saga’s chief people officer Jane Storm says: “This is about helping new grandparents celebrate a special moment and play a role in their growing families from day one. A quarter of working grandparents said they found it “difficult” to balance work with childcare commitments. The policy was launched following a consultation with Saga’s employees, as well as a survey of 2,500 people over-50. The brand, which is specifically for the over-50s, will also open its onsite nursery to grandchildren to further support working grandparents.
Insurance firm and cruise operator Saga has introduced a new paid leave policy for grandparents, offering its 2,500 staff a week of paid time off to celebrate the birth of a grandchild. Saga becomes first major UK firm to offer paid leave for grandparents
