New mothers 'must plan before returning to work'
Posted by Patrick White
It is crucial that new mothers conduct some research prior to returning to work after giving birth, an expert has said.
According to Piya Khanna, executive coach at Change to Succeed, females who have taken a period of maternity leave must make sure they are fully sure they are ready to do so before going back to work.
Ms Khanna noted that "planning is everything" and recommended that mothers become "very clear" on what they want when they return to their job.
"Start taking action well in advance of returning to work. Speak to your boss and agree roles, responsibilities, work hours [and] work from home arrangements," she advised.
The specialist went on to say that it is a case of the sooner the better for this process to begin.
Meanwhile, a survey by Regus recently showed that the number of firms planning to hire mothers returning to work has fallen radically over the past year.
