Losing a loved one is already difficult enough without having to worry about financial stability and keeping up with bills. Google has recognized this problem and taken it head on. If a Google employee passes away, Google will pay the surviving spouse/partner 50 percent of the deceased person’s income for ten years. This initiative can help in so many ways, but more importantly, it shows that Google values its employees for more than just their productivity. Also known as bereavement Leave.
