Purpose
Research shows that 76% of parents are worried about their career when going on leave and the truth is that coming back to work from parental leave is never easy. From leaving their little one under someone else's care to adapting to a new schedule and catching up with everything at work - things can seem like an uphill climb.
The majority of parents also experience some level of confidence loss and struggle with the juggle when they return to work. They will be looking to their Manager and their organisation to get support and guidance as they learn how best to integrate work and home life.
Returning to work is one the moments that matter the most in the employee experience of your working parents. The support they receive from their Managers and their organisation can impact retention or attrition rates of parental leave returners in your organisation.
