The Standard Launches Parental Leave Resources With PERKY and the Center for Parental Leave Leadership

New value-added service supports employees, managers and employers before, during and after parental leave.

Standard Insurance Company (The Standard) launched Parental Leave Resources, a new value-added service that helps employees, managers and employers navigate parental leave. Parental Leave Resources was created in partnership with PERKY®, a leave planning and employee experience company, and the Center for Parental Leave Leadership®, a leading coaching and consultancy firm.

Parental leave is one of the most important transitions in an employee’s life and a critical time for employers to focus on retention, productivity and engagement. Through Parental Leave Resources, The Standard is offering a more comprehensive parental leave experience for employers and employees by combining leave planning education, financial wellness, manager empowerment and whole-person support.

“Parental leave is a pivotal moment for employees and a meaningful opportunity for employers to provide the right level of support,” said CrisDee Plambeck, vice president of Product and Business Development at The Standard. “By bringing together resources from PERKY and the Center for Parental Leave Leadership, we’re helping employers create a more connected experience that gives employees and their families clarity before and during leave as well as the support they need to return to work.”
