Hi Can you help?
I had a bumpy return with my first - hadn't realised how much I had changed ...... Arrived in the office the first day back, all my team were out on business, boss was in Germany and not answering the phone, I felt incredibly lonely, unwanted and useless. A few years on, having heard lots of stories both good and bad I'm now doing a proper research project to gain real evidence of how others found returning to work. The aim is to develop new, FREE ways of supporting mums and employers both practically and emotionally during what can be a really tricky transition. Some of us don't have a choice about returning to work (especially now even the prices in Aldi and ASDA are going up!) others love their careers as well as familiy and want to return. Could you share your experiences? www.mumsgoingbacktowork.com It's being supported by Working Families chairty and the NCT. Did you know that 400,000 maternity leaves are taken each year and sadly 30,000 women leave their jobs due to pregnancy related discrimination? Thank you
