Should companies give employees ‘pet leave’?

The skilled labour shortage has employers finding new and interesting ways to attract the best talent. One of those is so-called “paw-ternity” leave — being given time off to bond with and train a new puppy. In this month’s poll, we wanted to know what you thought of paw-ternity leave, and what leave options might encourage you to choose one employer over another.

When looking for a job, how important to you is the leave entitlement?

It’s the most important factor
It’s important but other factors (e.g., pay) are more important
It’s a low priority for me.

What kinds of leave options would you find attractive in a new employer? (Choose up to five options)

Longer annual leave periods
Unlimited unpaid leave
Unlimited paid leave
Paid parental leave
Adoption and family support leave
Additional paid leave around the holidays
Volunteering leave and community days
Study leave
Paid birthday leave
Pet leave

Should employees be able to take leave to spend time with their pets?

Yes, of course! Pets are members of the family
It doesn’t really bother me either way
No, it’s a bit much.

Thanks so much for taking part in this Mining People Polling/Media Centre poll. We’ll publish the results on our website next month. You can see the results of some of our other recent polls below!
