Clough offers industry-leading gender-neutral parental leave entitlements to support all people in achieving a healthy work and family life balance. 

The benefits of parental leave at Clough include a 24-month period in which parental leave can be claimed, no eligibility period to qualify, superannuation on the unpaid portion of parental leave up to 36 weeks, and flexibility in how parental leave is used.

We introduced flexibility in our parental leave entitlements to ensure we continue to lead the way in encouraging shared caring responsibilities. 

Meet Lee Hutchings, first-time parent and Senior Project Engineer who recently took up Clough’s flexible parental leave!

“I benefited from Clough’s flexible parental leave options by transitioning from my usual 5-day week into a 2-3 day working week instead. 

“In my current role as a Senior Project Engineer, I’m leading a project team and through flexible parental leave I was able to continue with my career and role on the project, and at the same time, have dedicated time with my family.

“The benefits of flexible parental leave were significant. It allowed me to balance work and life as a new parent while supporting my partner as she went back to full-time work. 

“At the same time, it gave me the opportunity to spend more time with our daughter and strengthen my bond with her – that was the biggest highlight for me.

“The moments and memories created during this period were invaluable, which is why flexible parental leave options are so important.”
