The
Glenmorangie Company new family leave
plan and reimagined office puts
inclusivity and diversity centre stage.
The Glenmorangie Company today
reveals a host of life-friendly
transformations to help its people
flourish at work and at home. The
Company, which owns Glenmorangie and
Ardbeg premium single malts, is evolving
its family-leave policy to support all
new parents during the precious first
weeks of parenthood. And to help foster
a more diverse, inclusive workforce, it
is also reimagining the role of the
office (ready for when office working is
possible) embracing flexible working and
restyling its office space, to nurture
individuals’ different needs.
At the heart of the Company’s
family-leave policy, is a pledge to
extend the same rights to paid family
leave to all its staff, removing any
bias. Key changes include:
- Increased paid leave for all new
parents whether through birth,
adoption, surrogacy or any other
means, to an initial 26 weeks at
full contractual weekly pay followed
by 15 weeks at 50% pay
- All staff to have the right to
the same length of paid family
leave, regardless of gender or
sexual orientation, to 41 weeks
- Additional paid leave for
parents if their baby is born
prematurely. This is provided from
as soon as a baby is born, until the
baby’s estimated due date, when paid
family leave begins
Furthermore, as the Company supports
team members to work flexibly in the
environment which suits them best, it is
redeveloping its head office in
Edinburgh to create a more creative,
collaborative atmosphere. The revamp, by
Form Design Consultants, includes
different meeting spaces to encourage
idea-sharing and prioritise personal
development, open-plan zones and
individual pods for quiet working, as
well as informal areas where staff can
strengthen relationships and relax.
The Company’s inclusivity mission
extends far beyond its workforce too, as
Glenmorangie’s colourful new brand
campaign shows. Shot by celebrated
photographer Miles Aldridge and launched
in December 2020 with the tagline "It’s
kind of delicious and wonderful", it
aims to welcome more people across the
world to enjoy Glenmorangie’s single
malt in whatever way they choose.
President and CEO Thomas Moradpour said:
"As a world-leading employer, we’re
delighted to be making life-friendly
changes to support our staff at work and
at home, particularly in those
unforgettable first weeks as a new
parent. We believe a diverse and
inclusive world is better for all. And
we aim to share our vision as widely as
possible, with our wonderful team and
those yet to try our delicious whisky."
