EA Updates Parental Leave

Welcoming a new family member is one of the most exciting times for our employees.

By Gabrielle Toledano, Chief Talent Officer

Happy New Year to our EA community!

Welcoming a new family member is one of the most exciting times for our employees. As a mother, I know firsthand how important it is be supported by your employer as you bond with your new child. That’s why I’m very pleased to share that we’ve updated our parental leave policies in Canada to increase top-up pay provided to birth mothers during their maternity leave by four weeks. We are also increasing the paid benefit for new dads and adoptive parents by three weeks.

Research shows that paid leave improves employee morale, retention and most importantly, has significant benefits for family health and wellness. At EA, we want to create a culture that inspires you to do the best work of your career, but we know you can only do that by having the flexibility and support to balance your career and personal life.

With over 30 locations around the world, our benefits vary by location and other factors. If you're interested in joining the team and learning more about the benefits we offer, visit careers.ea.com.
