Preparing For Parental Leave

Preparing for parental leave involves more than finishing a handover. It can also mean navigating uncertainty, changing routines and conversations about how work and family life might look in the months ahead.

Join Parents At Work Expert Facilitator Rebecca Harper for a practical session to help you prepare for this transition with greater clarity. We’ll explore what to discuss with your manager, how to organise a manageable handover and how to agree on contact during leave. There will also be space to consider support at home and your own wellbeing, while allowing plans to evolve as your family’s needs become clearer.

Key takeaways

• Identify key conversations and workplace information to clarify before leave
• Create a practical handover with clear responsibilities
• Agree on contact preferences and future return-to-work conversations
• Consider the support you may need as family routines change
