Caring for employees is the responsibility of business.
Caring for employees extends beyond basic health insurance, so we take a more holistic approach to coverage and support overall wellness to which every human has a right. That means offering employees the dignity of access to reproductive health care. It means supporting employees’ choices around if or when they have a child. It means giving parents the resources they need to work and raise children.
Patagonia covers the cost of medical insurance for all part-time and full-time employees; we offer the same high-quality health plans to all employees:
U.S. employees on our health plans are covered for abortion care. Where restrictions exist, travel, lodging and food are covered.
100% of co-pay costs for mental health visits are covered.
We support new parents with:
Two types of paid leave: 4 weeks of paid pregnancy disability leave and/or 12 weeks of paid parental bonding leave.
Private spaces to feed infants.
Child-care support for parents on work trips.
Subsidized, on-site high-quality child care.
Child-care stipends for parents who do not live near one of our child-care centers.
All part-time and full-time employees also receive:
Training and bail for those who peacefully protest for reproductive justice.
Resources to make informed decisions at the ballot box.
