Is your organization exploring the possibility of introducing group sessions to support recently returned parents in the workplace? Oftentimes, new mothers return to work while still pumping, which can leave them feeling overwhelmed and fatigued. They often experience a strong desire to be with their child at home, which can lead to feelings of guilt and sadness, affecting their performance in the office. On the other hand, fathers are often expected to fulfill their full work responsibilities and then transition to parenting duties as soon as they arrive home, which presents its own set of challenges. These are just a couple of scenarios among many that parents face. It's essential for the workplace to provide more opportunities for a sense of community during a time when individuals might feel isolated on their parenting journey.
