In this special edition of our IP podcast, we are doing things a
bit differently and talking about returning to work after maternity
leave.
Each year we acknowledge International Women's day and use
it as an opportunity to highlight the achievements of the inspiring
women in our network. This year's events got us talking and as
a firm that is almost 50% female, we felt we were well placed to
discuss the common issues faced by women in the workplace. Claire
Whittle (Marketing and Communications Manager), Laura Ramsay (Partner) and Polly Shaw (Head of HR) discuss how
experiences of transitioning back to work after maternity leave
might differ, and offer advice on making your first few weeks back
in the office as smooth as possible.
