We’re finding better ways to provide materials the world needs, now and in the future
To ensure we remain strong now and in the future, we’ve been deepening our focus on operational excellence, learning from how we execute of our projects, scaling up our decarbonisation program, and strengthening our work culture.
Taking parental leave is a milestone in employees’ personal and professional lives. Rio Tinto’s global Paid Parental Leave policy offers 4.5 months’ leave at full pay for all employees following birth or adoption.
However, taking parental leave may be met with mixed feelings, and can be challenging. As part of our commitment to creating an inclusive culture for everyone, we’ve developed guidance materials to better support both employees and their leaders, before, during and after parental leave, to help make the transitions positive. The guidance reflects the lived experience of our people, and is designed to help employees and leaders navigate the to-dos, the logistics and the overall journey together. It’s one of the ways we are working to remove barriers to inclusion and create an environment where everyone, everywhere, feels safe, respected and included to thrive.
