Maintaining Contact While on Parental Leave
One way to avoid skill reduction and sense of isolation that you may feel during periods of parental leave, is for a you and your manager to agree on maintaining a level of contact.
Keys for Success:
- Add your home email address to the work unit's email network, so that you receive relevant work based information on line
- Request a copy be forwarded to you of any regular hard copies of University publications, for example, newsletters and the Monash Memo
- Request that information on operational plans or any major procedural or structural changes taking place in the workplace are forwarded to you
- Where possible choose to participate in training sessions that you would normally have been involved in had you been at work
- Attend the work unit's social events, for example, farewells, birthday lunches and the annual Christmas party
- Well in advance of your return to work, revisit the issue of returning to work on a part-time basis, job share, voluntarily reduced working year or flexible working hours options. Consider these options with your manager
- If considering breastfeeding, discuss your requirements with your manager and contact Child and Family Services for information on parenting rooms
