My company offers only 6-8 week of SDI

I really think it's crazy given that we're such a large company with so many other perks. I want to help change this -- if not for me, then for other women after me. Any tips on how to change your corporate policy from anyone in this community?

Power in numbers, and start from the bottom and work your way up. Connect with the ERG's/BRG's, has your company done surveys of what other women feel about the policy? Are women leaving the company because of it? Data is hard to pass up, so if you can share insights into how it has been impacting your company negatively, that always helps.

I would recommend you work with your benefits department and women's resource group if you have one to create a business case. Do some benchmark with other companies that have longer maternity leave and ask them how it impacts their female employees (pros and cons).
