Panache Cruises upgrades maternity and paternity policies
Panache Cruises, the UK’s leading retailer of luxury and ultra-luxury cruises, has announced that it has upgraded its maternity and paternity policies and believes that the company now has the strongest offering in this area across the travel industry.
For maternity leave, the company will now offer eligible employees 26 weeks’ maternity pay at full basic salary, and thereafter 13 weeks of statutory pay. For Paternity leave eligible employees will receive 6 weeks paternity pay at full basic salary, this can be taken in weekly blocks during the first 12 months following the birth. The new policies are available to those who adopt also.
Panache Cruises’ Anna Perrott, who has recently been promoted to Partnerships Director, and who has been leading a review of the brand’s maternity and paternity offering, said: “We are constantly reviewing our pay and remuneration package to make sure we are offering the best in the industry.
“These new maternity and paternity packages are, from what we can see, the best you can get across the travel industry and have been welcomed by the team at Panache Cruises. We are confident that our new approach to maternity and paternity leave will also be attractive to new joiners. We want to support working parents and having financial support can be a huge relief to new parents.
“Our people are our most important asset and what drives our success, so ensuring that they feel valued and well rewarded is central to our growth strategy.
