BM has committed to providing team members with 24 weeks of fully paid maternity leave and four weeks of secondary carer leave, as well as three days of grandparent leave, all of which extend to families welcoming new members through adoption and surrogacy.
This is in addition to BM team members already being able to take advantage of paid leave for their wedding/commitment day and birthday, one day a year for volunteering and free meals during working hours. BM is also offering four weeks of fully paid leave for each period of fertility treatment.
BM’s team members can also benefit from Aviva wellbeing perks, including an annual health check, and six mental health consultations, six nutritional consultations and two digital GP sessions per year for them or their immediate family.
Murray Soper, head of people and talent at BM, said: “We know how important life outside of work is to our team members. We want all our employees to have a great work-life balance and know they are supported by their employer, which allows them to bring their best selves to work each day. To reflect this, we’ve updated our benefits package to demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity."
BM team members have scored the business 4.7 out of 5 stars on Glassdoor, the highest score of any contact caterer. All direct employees are paid at least the London Living Wage or National Living Wage.
