Proportion of employees taking adoption leave Although the number of employees taking adoption leave is very low, with only two out of 10,826 male employees taking adoption leave, and ten out of 10,001 females. The results show that almost five times as many female employees as males have taken this leave.
Proportion of employees taking shared parental leave With 14 female and 16 male employees taking shared parental leave, uptake of shared parental leave, though very low amongst survey respondents, appears evenly split amongst male and female employees. Although this is perhaps not unsurprising given that females must curtail their maternity leave in order to begin sharing the leave with their partners. There is of course the option for women to go back to work and not take any shared parental leave if their partner takes the whole of the remaining time off, but on the basis of these results, that does not seem to be a common occurrence.
