Описание: In this talk, Iccha covers what she did to prepare before her parental leave, from the perspective of business, and how to keep an org functioning healthy while you are out.

What can you do as a manager to support your coworkers on parental leave.

Six months into my role as an Engineering Director, I embarked on my parental leave for my second child. I did not have many role models of senior women leaders who had taken extended period of time off to focus on family and come back. So I charted my plan with the help of my leaders, peers, friends and mentors. In this talk I will cover what I did to prepare before my parental leave, from the perspective of business and how to keep an org functioning healthy while you are out, and from a personal perspective so I can focus on the new phase in my life. And will cover how I eased back into my role upon return. The talk will also cover what you can do as managers and peers to support your coworkers on parental leave.
