A place for parenthood at work
After the birth of a child, the majority of people go back to work, it’s a fact for everyone.
It is however a famous transition for moms and dads, during which it is not easy to find the new balance in their private and professional life. A complicated return to work can have a medium and even long-term impact on the physical and moral health of the person, his work or colleagues.
After that, the parenthood that we live 24 hours a day represents a challenge at all stages of our children’s lives. Offering a sign of support in these more complicated moments is, in my opinion, a strong gesture of recognition for its employees.

When a pregnancy is announced, it is unfortunately common for a “special” climate to appear. The person concerned, her performance at work as well as her team’s and managers’ may feel the consequences.
4 women on 10
are anxious about announcing their pregnancy to their manager.
3 fathers/co-parents on 10
say that they do not take paternity leave because of the effect on their work environment.
More than 1 women on 4
claim to feel discriminated against at work during their pregnancy.
1 in 2 women
reports being overworked prior to maternity leave.
For me, it is essential to give a place to parenthood in the company and to no longer consider it as an obstacle to the pursuit of one’s career.
Moreover, offering a sign of support in complicated moments is, in my opinion, a strong gesture of recognition for employees and strongly contributes to their feeling of belonging to the company.
