Leading through leave
Join us online for a refreshingly frank conversation about the realities of being the manager with a team member approaching or on maternity, paternity, shared parental and adoption leave.
Tuesday 6th October | Teams | 2pm - 3.15pm
The SPACE Network, delivered in collaboration with Lynn White of Talent On Leave.
What to expect
The admin of leave is one thing, but knowing what conversations to have, how and when are another.
As a manager with someone approaching leave, you probably already know that you play an important part in shaping their experience of being away from work, and how they prepare for return.
Good conversations now can create clarity around expectations, communication, handover, keeping in touch and return without it feeling awkward. When we get this stage right, we increase the likelihood of ongoing talent retention, development and progression beyond return.
We'll introduce you to Lynn and then leave you in her very capable hands to explore:
The conversations that make the biggest difference ahead of leave.
What happens before and across leave that tends to get in the way of a positive return.
Good practice prep for leave and pre return guidance.
