All parents are working parents ...whether they get paid for their work or not. Because caring for a child *is* work, no matter who does it. Do you agree? I'm curious to hear your thoughts. Let's have a conversation in the comments 👇 ______ I am Cathy, I help new parents enjoy smooth parental leave experiences, and a burnout-free return to work. I founded Gaïndéa Parental Leave Support, a coaching and consulting practice focused on facilitating seamless parental leave transitions and advocating for parental inclusion in the workplace.

👪 Giving birth, becoming a father, adopting – however you do it, starting or growing a family is one of the greatest transitions an individual can go through. With that in mind, it’s not at all surprising that many people experience challenges when returning to work after parental leave. Connor’s parental transition programmes provide a rich range of tailored support for both individuals and groups before, during, and after parental leave. In partnership with you, we can improve the experience of those starting or growing their family, increasing their engagement and your retention of these talented individuals.

June is a month of celebration as we honor both the Global Day of Parents on June 1 and Father's Day later this month. These occasions remind us of the essential roles parents play in shaping our lives, both at home and in the workplace. As we mark the Global Day of Parents, let's reflect on the pivotal role of HR in supporting parental leave policies and work-life balance initiatives. HR teams play a crucial part in creating family-friendly workplaces where parents can thrive professionally while nurturing their families. Father's Day is a time to recognize the dedication of fathers everywhere. From supporting flexible work arrangements to promoting a supportive culture, HR departments play a key role in championing equality and inclusivity for working fathers. To all the fathers and parents, your commitment is truly appreciated. 🙌 How does your organization support parental leave and work-life balance? Share your thoughts on the role of HR in fostering a supportive environment for parents in the workplace. Let's continue to champion parenthood and fatherhood, supported by thoughtful HR practices that enhance employee well-being and engagement. #GlobalDayOfParents #Fatherhood #HRSupport #WorkLifeBalance #FathersDay #EmployeeEngagement

Have you taken parental leave? If yes, we’d love to hear about your experience! We’re partnering with Parentaly to source responses for the first comprehensive study measuring the career impact and workplace experience of parental leave. This survey is for anyone who has taken parental leave — birthing and non-birthing parents — and will be completely anonymous. Complete the survey anonymously here: https://lnkd.in/eSRcpqeq #parentalleave #workingparents #survey

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!

This month we're spotlighting the parenting and caring transition. The transition from working person to working parent is a huge one. That's why we're proud to see stats like this from the working parents we work with. What this translates to: 👩💼More parents staying in the workforce 👨💻More support mechanisms for working parents in the workplace 👉Employers who are supportive and flexible 📈Higher levels of productivity for everyone ⛔Fewer resignations from new parents.

"People on parental leave are not receiving any communication at all about their job and about aspects that might affect their job." This piece, delving into Dr Rachael Potter's research into parents' work conditions for the Centre for Workplace Excellence (CWeX), reveals that discrimination against new parents is still alive and well before, during and after parental leave. It saddens us to read this. We know just how important it is for parents to be supported through this vulnerable time. We also know that the right, meaningful support can be very powerful, and lead to positive outcomes at both an individual and organisational level. #WorkingParents https://lnkd.in/gw3pgQk4
