Just over a week ago Maternity rights were significantly improved and Carers now have the right to request employers for flexible working. This is brilliant news.
The change of employers’ attitude towards parents working flexibly has been momentous since 2003. The new legislation should bring about a sea change for carers also.
The Keeping in Touch days for mothers on maternity leave will help maintain women’s professional confidence so they feel positive about returning to work. Professional self-esteem can drop quickly when any employee is away from work for several consecutive months.
Here is an excellent document published by the Equal Opportunities Commission to help both pregnant employees and their employers. It's called the Pregnancy Toolkit.
