While many companies have offered some form of maternity leave through the last few decades, the same benefit was rarely extended to fathers. That is gradually changing, as studies have indicated paternal leave has a positive impact on children and the household.
Historically, even companies that provided paternity leave did not offer more than a week or two. That is also swiftly evolving as businesses realize a robust parental leave benefit can attract outstanding talent. We’ve looked into the paternity leave policies of numerous U.S. companies and highlighted some of the best ones below.
"New parents at Bain are now eligible for up to 21 weeks of paid parental leave, with the option to extend to up to 26 weeks of paid leave with vacation. This new policy covers biological parents, adoption, and surrogacy."

"It comes after Goldman introduced a new parental leave policy in 2019, giving all its new parents globally 20 weeks off — a new mother and a new father who worked for the firm could conceivably both be out for five months."
"Professional services firm KPMG has introduced a new flexible parental leave scheme, which will see both parents share in a total of 26 weeks' paid leave."
