Power of the Parent

S6 Ep13: Helping Someone Prepare for Parental Leave


Listen Later

Look for a book on preparing to become a parent, and you’re hit with a tsunami of the things. Cast your eyes around to devour something that includes the workplace angle too and you’ll be hard pushed to find it. But it’s an incredibly important step and one that we can’t continue to overlook and assume great engagement for parents in the workplace happens by accident. 

In this episode we’re talking about three things you need to know about helping someone prepare for parental leave. There’s heaps we could cover with this topic, so I’ve kept it to the point and with a blend of practical action and some bigger reflections to consider. 

The three things are:
  1. Contract on contact
  2. Focus on strengths
  3. Watch your language

  4. The further resources I mentioned in the episode can be found on the Power of the Parent® Employer Resource Hub here - https://power-of-the-parent.com/employer-resource-hub/
