About this listen
Maternity leave is such an exciting time for your employees. Depending on the country they'll be gone for 52 weeks - which is a lot of work to cover. Always make sure you're prepared, well in advance to make their life as comfortable as possible. - Prepare before hand, get the full picture of their current projects and daily tasks (what you think they do and what they actually do will differ) - GET COVER for their role, do NOT dump the workload on the rest of your staff. It will erode their morale massively and worse; they will resent your staff taking maternity cover. There are companies out there that specialise in this, use them if you're getting stuck. - Involve the employee in the selection process for their cover. - Handover week, get the cover to come in early to shadow the role they will be doing, have them complete a brief of projects and tasks done so that the maternity leave will have a quicker time getting back into the swing of things If you would like us to cover any topic on HR or Recruitment for you we can ask our 30 specialists to put together a video just for you, just drop a comment.
