Back to work after Baby: taking action for returning parents (trigger warning)
After experiencing several maternity/paternity leaves, I want to explore with you where organisations are falling short in preparing new parents for what's to come, supporting parents through leave, and guidance/ communication strategies when returning to the workforce. Its important to change the perception around returning parents and their contributions to the organisation. Returning parents often struggle with the changes they didn't foresee- hindsight is everything- so take mine.
