Creating Connections:
Empowering Working Parents & Leaders

Managers play a pivotal role in shaping the outcomes of parental leave, significantly influencing whether the experience is positive and productive or fraught with challenges. Effective managerial practices can lead to comprehensive coverage planning, smooth re-onboarding, and increased productivity and retention. However, many managers fall short, with 71% lacking adequate re-onboarding strategies and 37% of parents facing bias or discrimination—factors that double their likelihood of leaving. Moreover, 69% of returning parents encounter difficulties in communicating their needs. Equipping managers with the right training is essential to foster positive workplace experiences for new parents.
