Here’s why #HewlettPackardEnterprise expanded its paid #parentalleave policy and never looked back
#IT giant #HPE expanded its parental leave policy in 2019 as part of a larger push to improve #employee benefits, and says it has paid off in terms of worker engagement and satisfaction
When a team member believes, and is not just told, HPE cares about them as a whole person, they’re more engaged, more productive, and better able to contribute their talents to our business.”

Bringing that up here because I heard someone has a case against its former employer because of the money talk.
The employer shields itself saying it "brought discourse, uneasiness and hostility to the employees environment". Contract stipulates salary as non-disclosable.
The employee says, it's null and void to censor an employee speech about his salary, or employment conditions, inside the business.
Who would win?
I stand by my former boss Rule 7 for his business:
7. Money talk is prohibited with risk of firing.
Why? He told me (paraphrasing a lot):
"Talking about money can bring the worst from your people. Once someone feels its being mistreated or unfairly paid, it can be demoralising at best, but also destructive or hostile at worst. Sadly, firing him always solves the problem and sets the example for the rest."

#SanFrancisco Superior Court #Judge rejects #Cupertino based #AppleComputer #legal efforts to stifle female #employee #lawsuit over alleged illegal #SexDiscrimination.
A female employee discovered a male colleague’s #TaxReturn form that showed him making $10k more for performing the same job title, a violation of California's landmark #EqualPayAct . Another #litigant hired a third party firm to investigate her #WageClaims and proved she was receiving less pay than male colleagues, and when Apple agreed to her raise, refused her any #BackPay for the years during which she was consistently paid less than men performing similar work.
The court found #Plaintiffs had sufficiently alleged that Apple’s #salary decisions were made in a centralized location pursuant to a #chauvinistic #employment compensation scheme that clearly perpetuates pay disparities due to #GenderBias.
The lawsuit could receive #ClassAction status as there are more than 12,000 female #APPL employees in #California potentially impacted by secret pact under ultimate leadership of #TimCook and cabal of other misogynistic policy enforcing execs.
#Plaintiff #legalteam include lawyers from three firms: Altshuler Berzon LLP, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC, and Outten & Golden LLP.
