Watch this video to get a brief overview on what you need to do to manage your employee’s transition well.
Have robust parental leave and flexible work policies
Make sure you have robust parental leave and flexible work policies in place, and make sure you’re across what’s in them.
If you need help setting these up, jump to step four to get started.
Schedule a meeting with the parent-to-be
Whether your employee is planning on taking leave or not, it’s good to talk with them about your organisation’s parental leave policies, flexible work options and any other entitlements they have.
How you manage this process in the early stages sets the tone for the entire period. It’s important to communicate regularly and work together to manage the transition well. You can practice these conversations with our free conversation simulations. Simply set up your profile to get started.
Access free policies, templates and more
Set up a profile to access a rich suite of content to help you support your expectant employee.
We’ll send you templates (think policies, handover plans and checklists), conversation simulations and even create a customised to-do list to remind you of what you need to do to support your employee, and when you need to do it. Think of us as your personalised HR department.
