雀巢推行全球員工"生育保護政策"(Maternity Protection Policy)
瑞士雀巢總部針對全球員工啟動了"生育保護政策" (Maternity Protection Policy)，預計將是領先同業的福利政策之一。此政策是依據《國際勞工組織生育保護公約》 ILO Maternity Protection Convention 擬定相關規定的最低標準，並要求於2018年在雀巢全球市場上全面實施。
此政策規定提供員工最短為14周的給薪產假，並規定員工有權利延長產假至6個月。這項規定將適用於新生兒的所有主要照顧人，包含男性員工和養父母。
此政策中也囊括員工保護、彈性工作安排，並且保證在總部及超過50名員工的區域辦公場所中，設置母乳哺育室。雀巢目前在全球辦公室或工廠中已設有過190個母乳哺育室。
雀巢集團執行副總裁和首席人力資源官Peter Vogt說："這項政策將幫助我們有力地支持雀巢全球各地的母親及她們的家庭，同時加強我們對嬰兒生命最初六個月母乳哺育的全力支持。"

Nestlé has launched a global Maternity Protection Policy for its employees worldwide that is estimated to be one of the most progressive programmes of its kind in the industry.
The policy, which is based on the ILO Maternity Protection Convention, establishes minimum standards that must be implemented at Nestlé workplaces across the world by 2018.
The policy gives employees a minimum of 14 weeks paid maternity leave and the right to extend their maternity leave up to six months. This will be applicable to all primary caregivers of newborns, including male employees and adoptive parents.
It also includes employment protection, flexible working arrangements and guaranteed access to breastfeeding rooms during working hours in head offices and sites with more than 50 employees. Nestlé currently has more than 190 breastfeeding rooms across its global working facilities.
Peter Vogt, Deputy Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer for Nestlé S.A. said: "This policy will help us better support mothers and their families in our sites across the world and reinforces our support for exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of a child's life."
