Rosewood Hotel Group has launched a global parental leave policy that offers a minimum standard of 16 weeks of fully-paid parental leave across its international portfolio.
Effective as of this year, the policy applies equally to mothers, fathers, non-birth partners, and diverse family structures. It covers birth, adoption, surrogacy, and other pathways to parenthood, where permitted by local law.
The global standard supplements local statutory parental leave entitlements. Where local paid leave falls below 16 weeks, the group will top up pay to ensure eligible staff receive 100% pay for at least 16 weeks.
The policy reflects the group’s commitment to staff wellbeing, personal development, and workplace equity across its corporate offices and properties worldwide. It wanted to offer tangible support for working parents during one of life’s most significant milestones, and improve inclusive workplace practices.
By embedding consistent support into its global standards and recognising all paths to parenthood, Rosewood Hotel Group is removing a barrier to career continuity and progression, while reinforcing its commitment to inclusion and equitable opportunities across regions and cultures.
Sonia Cheng, chief executive officer of Rosewood Hotel Group, said: “Hospitality is a people-driven business. This policy reflects our commitment to move from intent to action. Supporting our associates and their paths to parenthood is essential to advancing equity and family wellbeing, while strengthening the long-term resilience of our business.”
Keno Lung, senior vice president, talent and culture, global at Rosewood Hotel Group, added: “Our associates are the heart of everything we do. Across hospitality, parenting responsibilities can make it challenging for people to stay and grow in their careers. By addressing this in a meaningful way, we are investing in our people and in the long-term strength of our teams. Supporting associates through important life moments helps us attract, retain, and develop exceptional talent, and reflects the kind of culture we are committed to building together.”
