Implementing Workplace Policies That Support Families
Faith, Hope and Payroll Podcast
Eric Jones and David Franzonello walk through workplace policies they have experienced firsthand or helped craft, and how each one affects employees raising families. David traces parental leave across his career while Eric explains how Workforce PayHub made its leave fully paid, then both weigh hybrid schedules and unlimited PTO against what an employer can afford.
