      Flexible working

      We know employee expectations for workplace culture continually evolves. Employees of all ages and backgrounds are seeking flexibility in their workplace to bring balance to their lives and achieve the goals of the organization. We work to think creatively about how we retain and recruit talent, ensure engagement remains strong and work in new and different ways. Formal and informal programs for flexibility in the workplace is a way for us to do that.

      We believe that this flexibility will support our organization’s mission, ensuring our teams meet their objectives, while providing quality service and gracious experiences to our customers. We are committed to making flexible work a foundational part of the way we do business here.

Ten days of paid Parental Leave are available to eligible associates. Birthing mothers can use their Parental Leave to extend their paid time off immediately following their paid maternity leave or use full days intermittently or consecutively after returning to work (leave must be used within six months of baby’s birth or placement). 

      All parents have the option to take time off for the birth/adoption of a child. Kohler Co. offers six weeks full paid maternity leave for mothers following the birth of their child(ren). Additionally, we offer two full weeks parental leave for mothers (on top of 6 weeks maternity leave for 8 weeks total), fathers, and adoptive parents.
