New Parent Buddy

Inclusion & Belonging

Overview

Your employee has celebrated an amazing milestone in their life and has spent the past few months adapting to their new family life. When it's time for them to return to work, it will be a big change and will take them some time to adapt. Setting them up with a parent buddy upon their return can be helpful for their transition back to the workplace.

Why It Matters

Change is difficult and uncomfortable, but it can also be positive, forward-moving, and exciting. Pairing your new parents with buddies upon their return provides them with support to reacclimatize to work and increases the likelihood of a success transition back.
