More than one in five (21%) HR directors admit they are not ready for the requirements of the
shared parental leave legislation that comes into effect on 1 December, according to research by HCM solutions provider ADP.
The Workforce View 2014/15 is the latest annual barometer of the views and attitudes of UK workers. It is based on a survey of around 2,500 British working adults. It also suggests 70% of HR directors predict little or no interest in shared parental leave within 12 months of its implementation.
Despite it being available to any parents expecting or adopting a child on or after 5 April 2015, 11% of those staff questioned admit that they have not heard of it. However, 33% of 16- to 34-year-olds asked said they intend to take advantage of it within five years.
