Practical advice for women returning to work
In this interview excerpt, a returning parent (Speaker A) describes the concept of "keeping in touch days," a policy that provides five paid days during maternity leave for employees to work a full day and assess how they feel about returning to full‑time work. The speaker explains that these days allow the employee to experience the workplace routine, manage childcare logistics, and evaluate the future structure of their role before making a final decision about their post‑maternity position. The discussion highlights the practical challenges of balancing childcare with a trial workday and underscores the importance of clear communication with management about such transitional policies.
