Maternity Returnees: Are Employers Doing Enough (Or Anything At All?)

Maternity Leave is a policy most employers have in place, but what about Maternity Return? Most employers seem not to have any policy at all, leaving the experience of returning mothers mainly up to the line management, with predictably variable results!

We're going to dive into an under discussed topic on what the current experience is like for Maternity Returnees, and what policies employers can produce to be truly inclusive for all members of the workforce. 

- What is the current legal status of Maternity Return?

- What has been the experience (bad, ok, good) of maternity leave returners

- Do we have standardisation or customisation?

- What support do managers need to do better for returning workers?

- Psychology: what are the common psychological challenges of returning to a team?

- Re-onboarding rituals: does anyone do this?

- Returning to lead: different from being a returning IC?

- What recommendations do we have for returnees, and employers embracing returnees?

All this and more on Brainfood Live On Air.
