Kaufman Hall Announces Enhanced Paid Leave Benefits Amid Record Growth

SKOKIE, Ill. and PORTLAND, Ore. – August 1, 2017 – Kaufman Hall, a leading provider of management consulting services, and enterprise performance management and decision support software, announced that it has rolled out significant enhancements to its paid leave benefits amid record growth and success.

To ensure Kaufman Hall continues to offer best-in-class benefits to its employees, management conducted a review of existing leave policies and instituted a number of enhancements. Significant changes include expansion of paid maternity leave to 16 weeks, as well as paid leave for non-birth parents (4 weeks), and those becoming parents through adoption or surrogacy (6 weeks). These expanded benefits for parents aim to support the importance of taking time during the critical bonding period with newborns, the recovery needs of birth mothers, and the time-intensive nature of adoption and surrogacy arrangements. Other changes to paid leave benefits include extended coverage for employees called to military service (up to 5 years), and extended bereavement leave.

Kaufman Hall has experienced record sales growth in recent years, which has led to rapid hiring to meet increased demands and the evolving needs of clients. The company has expanded its employee base more than 50 percent since the beginning of 2016, and hiring is expected to continue into 2018. Kaufman Hall was recently selected for Becker’s Hospital Review “150 Top Places to Work in Healthcare 2017.”

“Our employees are our most valuable asset, and offering competitive benefits helps us attract and retain the absolute best talent,” said Therese Wareham, Managing Director and CEO of Kaufman Hall. “Our amazing employees enable us to sustain our rapid growth while continuing to deliver superior technology, consulting expertise, and service to our clients.”
