Musti Group, the leading pet supply company in Scandinavia, offers a 3-day parental leave to its 1,500 employees, 90 percent of whom have pets. “Adopting a pet is a significant decision and changes everyday life considerably,” said Musti CEO David Rönnberg in a statement. “We want to support our employees during their first days with their new family member and ensure that they can enjoy those precious moments to the fullest.” European countries have always been far ahead of the US when it comes to work-life balance, and I love that this company made pawternity leave an employee benefit.
