New Delhi: Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal and his wife Vineeta are expecting their second child. Everyone, including his company is all praise, including actor Anushka Sharma. He will stay connected with his executive team while on leave and has not named an interim CEO and
“At Twitter, we encourage and fully support employees taking parental leave in whatever way works best for each person,” Laura Yagerman, the corporate communications head of Twitter, told The Washington Post in a statement. “It’s a personal decision, and we created a parental leave program (supporting up to 20 weeks of flexible leave) that is customisable for that reason,” she added.
Anushka Sharma took to Instagram Stories to share a news article about Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal going on paternity leave for a ‘few weeks’. She hailed the move and wrote, “About time this is normalised.”
It may be recalled that her husband, cricketer Virat Kohli too, had gone on paternity leave when they were expecting their first child Vamika.
It’s amazing to work at a company where the executives lead by example and take the generous Parental Leave given to all employees ?
