This is a tale of modern parenthood, rewritten with JTI’s bold commitment to global family leave—because supporting families isn’t just policy, it’s a promise.
As a new father, the moment my son was placed in my arms for the very first time was like no other I had experienced. His tiny fingers wrapped around my own, and his eyes met mine – it was a magical connection, a feeling beyond words.
Thanks to JTI’s family leave policy, I could be present for crucial early moments—life's firsts I might have missed due to the absence of legal family leave requirements. Being there for my child and partner allowed us to create lasting memories without career concerns.
Utilizing the JTI family leave was a priceless chapter in my life, a cherished opportunity to create unforgettable moments with my little one. It not only deepened the bond between us but also allowed me to be present for those precious early milestones that I'll forever treasure.
My reflections on the past weeks of family leave left me really grateful for the opportunity. It meant a lot for my family, and reaffirmed the importance of what JTI provides, and how they foster an environment that values the well-being of their employees and their families. I couldn't have imaged missing any of those early moments of new fatherhood.
