Managing family-related leave

Research from Platform 55 reveals that 62% of managers don’t feel equipped to handle modern parenting conversations with their employees. A well-managed parental leave experience not only supports employee retention but also boosts team morale and strengthens the organisation’s reputation (Face2Face HR). Managers who are skilled in communicating with employees during such life-changing events contribute to their team’s overall productivity, motivation, and wellbeing.

This 2-hour workshop is designed to enhance leadership skills, providing managers with the tools to support employees through the parental transition. Whether your team includes expectant parents, employees on parental leave, or those returning to work, this session will help managers feel confident, informed, and able to offer support. Covering the challenges new parents face at different stages, this workshop is suitable for any manager looking to boost their ability to lead effectively during this critical time. Participants will also receive a follow-up toolkit and case studies to reinforce their learning.

“As a manager without children myself, the most useful part of this webinar was understanding what it feels like to leave your career behind for parental leave. I’ve got much more empathy now.“
