423 metrics. Eight areas. Nothing below three.

One dot for every employer, by headcount
The floor: nothing shown below three. Fewer than three in a group and nothing is shown.
No band holds fewer than 50 organisations or more than 70. 185 have 1,000 or more employees.
69.2% of UK employers top up maternity and adoption pay. The median is 12 weeks, counting those that give none.
From our 2026 benchmark: n = 256 for the 69.2%, and n = 261 for the 12 weeks.
Where would you sit?
n = 261At 10 weeks, at least a quarter of employers give fewer weeks, and at least half give more.
Weeks of enhanced maternity and adoption pay. Drag the dot to your own number, or use the arrow keys. The shaded box is the middle half of employers, 0 to 16 weeks. Nothing leaves this page.
What UK employers do on reward.
