The days, weeks, and months after a new parent returns to work after leave can be a critical and challenging time for an employee. Many experience anxiety about how they are going to manage work and parenting.

The days, weeks, and months after a new parent returns to work after leave can be a critical and challenging time for an employee. Many experience anxiety about how they are going to manage work and parenting, and some end up feeling like a failure at both. To address that, companies increasingly are creating formal ‘reboarding’ programs to help new parents transition back to work more easily, structuring those first months back after leave so they aren’t overwhelming for new parents, while also providing them with emotional support.

Employees rate parental leave as the most challenging moment in the employee experience lifecycle and the second least supported moment. This report by Rebekah Fraser, Professional Certified Coach (ICF) (The Back To Work Coach) and Stephanie Pow (Founder of Crayon ) gathers insights from 369 Kiwi parents and distills them into a collection of high-impact actions to help make the parental leave and return to work experience better for employers and parents.

Myth: When someone goes on leave, everything needs to slow down...which becomes disruptive to teams and the business. Reality: When parental leave support is designed strategically and intentionally, it’s actually a positive inflection point. What I mean by that is: Parental leave can help employees up-level their careers AND expedite business goals for the company when it's managed right. But not many people think about it this way. Of course parental leave changes the way teams operate...and that can FEEL disruptive. But it’s really all about how you approach it. Because there’s nothing like the immovable deadline of welcoming a child as a forcing function to work better and faster. #parentalleave #career #workingparents

I'm so happy to see this article making the rounds. As a parent and manager I can attest that reboarding after parental leave needs fixing. Kudos to Parentaly for helping employers prioritize getting this right. My takeaways: - start planning well before employees go on leave - ask what info, if any, employees would like to be kept abreast of and with what frequency  - create an in-house network or buddy system for employees to lean on while they are out and when they return - train and support their managers throughout the process I'm always looking for ways to work better and keep parents in the workforce. Would love to hear what's worked for you. #parentsatwork #betterfuture #culturetransformation https://lnkd.in/eNkSFsqX

Parental leave is a valuable resource for young families. However, many employees don’t take the time they are eligible for because the application process is confusing. As a company, you can make the process easier for managers and employees by soliciting feedback from previous parental leave candidates and their supervisors. Then, use that feedback to create training resources for managers and employees. An easier and more transparent process will reduce the stigma of taking parental leave and make it easier for supervisors to plan leave appropriately!

Every single day we have individuals come to us at Parentaly with the exact same talk track: “I get SUCH generous paid parental leave!” ⬇️ “My company gives us SO MANY benefits!” ⬇️ “We get access to things like telehealth, mental health services, pelvic floor therapy, breast milk shipping … even a ‘personal assistant’ service for families!” ⬇️ “And yet … I’m still terrified to go on leave because I have NO IDEA how to handle my career and projects through this time away from work.” What are they looking for? Employees are hungry for guidance on how to: 📝 Build a coverage plan 🤝 Source, train and transition work to a coverage team ⭐ Handle performance reviews 📈 Navigate promotion pathing 👍 Re-onboard productively and efficiently At Parentaly we have both low-touch and high-touch ways to fill this business-critical gap.
