'We’re on the cusp' of pet bereavement leave becoming a more standard benefit, HR consultant says, as companies take a closer look at work-life balance
Since the start of the pandemic, companies have increasingly had to take a hard look at what they offer employees in terms of compensation, benefits and work-life balance, particularly as a wave of workers have left their jobs or looked for better ones.
The issue particularly came into focus this past week with a story that has gotten a lot of attention online. A Starbucks spokesperson said the store made arrangements to accommodate Smith in the end, noting “we were able to support this partner in getting her work covered at that time.” The company also noted that when Smith submitted her resignation letter shortly after the incident, she said of her time at Starbucks, “I have learned a great deal and made wonderful friendships I will cherish forever.”
“I think we’re on the cusp” of it becoming a more standard benefit, said David Lewis, chief executive of OperationsInc, a human-resources consulting firm. Still, bereavement leave for anyone outside a worker’s immediate family can be hard to come by, period. Most companies offering paid time off give between one to five days of bereavement leave, with three days being the most popular policy. But that often only covers immediate family; an uncle or a close friend may not qualify.
