This was my first week back at work. I’ve been on maternity leave this summer (I had a baby boy!). And I have a confession: I had no clue how to navigate prepping for maternity leave. I’m in HR – I should know, right? Well, I didn’t. All I knew was I wanted my leave to be a success for me, my team, and my org. But I had no clue how I was going to get there. So, I read “Carry Strong” by Stephanie Kramer. I can't recommend it enough. Whether you’re preparing to personally go out on leave. Or have a team member preparing to go out on leave. 3 of the top lessons I learned from “Carry Strong”: 1️⃣ Deeply consider what’s best for you Don’t just mimic what you’ve seen. Then? Be confident in what you’ve decided. 2️⃣ Be ready for assumptions People will do what they think is best for you. They mean well. But make sure it aligns with what you’ve determined in #1. Speak up if it doesn’t. 3️⃣ Hold things loosely You have a vision for what you want work life to look like before & during. Your vision will almost definitely change for one reason or another. Plan on it changing, and it’ll be much easier to adjust. I had such a fulfilling leave, and it feels great to be back! Shout out to my team at Bloomerang. Couldn’t have done it without you. 🙏 -------------------------------------------------------- ♻ Repost if you found this helpful and follow me, Amy Mencarelli, to grow your HR career.

Ever felt that nagging voice in your head after returning to work from Maternity leave? You know, the one whispering doubts like "You've forgotten how to do your job"? Yeah, we've all been there. But here's the thing: you've got to prove that inner critic wrong. Begin by gathering feedback that speaks volumes about your capabilities. 🔍 Start with a personal assessment. Set aside distraction-free time to reflect on your career highlights. Reviewing emails, written feedback, LinkedIn endorsements, and your CV can be immensely helpful. 📝 If this feels overwhelming, set a 15-minute timer as a manageable starting point. 📂 Put this information in an accessible place for reference during your leave, such as creating a positivity folder in your emails—consider using your personal account for universal access so you're not locked out of the system whilst on leave. Make it a priority to revisit your achievements and rewire your thinking to focus on where you add value; it counteracts the natural tendency to dwell on negatives and bolsters self-esteem during moments of wavering confidence. At Work Life Mother Ltd confidence is one of our five pillars of having an empowered return to work after leave, and we cover this in more depth during our one-to-one coaching programs and new group programme launching soon. Stay tuned for updates. #MaternityLeave #ParentalLeave #TheReturnersLaunchpad #GroupCoaching #CoachingForWorkingParents #ConfidenceGremlins

We recently found out that some of our employees have been moonlighting. Yes! After working as a full-time employee with Amber, they work as full-time moms (and sometimes even in between work) Taking on another full-time role? We wondered why? Could it be for the extra pay? passion? or job satisfaction? To which they answered, “It pays me in my little one’s love and laughter" In part 1/3 — Kanak Jyoti, mom of twin daughters and Associate Lead HR at amber, shares how motherhood has given her more strength & taught her to chart the corporate world. “ As a working HR professional and a proud mother of twin daughters, I find myself constantly navigating the delicate dance between career aspirations and the joys of motherhood. It's a journey filled with both challenges and immense happiness, and I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections. Firstly, let's address the challenges. Balancing the demands of a workplace while ensuring that my daughters receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. There are days, especially during the last week of the month when deadlines loom large, meetings seem endless, and the guilt of not being returned to home on time, weighs heavily on my heart. Hence, I've learned to the art of time management and prioritising ruthlessly, sometimes, even sacrificing personal time for the greater good of the organisation because my work has a direct effect on each and every employee’s life. Yet, amidst these challenges, there is an abundance of happiness that fills my heart while at the workplace because amber gives that kind of comfort. Witnessing the wonder and innocence in my daughters' eyes and their laughter is a constant reminder to embrace the present moment and cherish the small victories. " In frame - Kanak, her beautiful daughters and their father (after all, “we should not neglect fathers on Mother’s Day” 🤭) #motherday #femaleempowerment #motherhood #celebration

There is no such thing as 'just' a full-time Mum. Or a 'just' a full-time parent for that matter. It's a phrase I hear regularly from job seekers and, perhaps worryingly, companies alike. I think anyone who has ever been 'just' a full-time parent will know that when they return to work they are more organised, more disciplined, more resilient and more motivated than before they became 'just' a full-time parent. So can we all agree to stop belittling people's choices to put family first and be a full-time parent, and focus instead on how people developed during that time? #recruitment #returntowork #workingparents

There's a special kind of reward in seeing bright minds develop into skilled legal professionals. I'm truly enjoying guiding the next generation of solicitors, sharing my knowledge and experience to help them excel. Their enthusiasm and dedication are inspiring, and their "aha!" moments are the best! #mentorship #legaleducation #futureoflaw
Just wanted to thank Victoria Boynes-Butler for being my supervisor in the Corporate department for the last three months! Its not only been great to get so involved in your matters, but it’s also been wonderful to be supervised by a fellow working mum. It’s helped to ease my transition from maternity leave back into the working world, and has given me the confidence I needed to resume my professional career 🥰 #maternityleave #trainingcontract #womensupportingwomen

Too many companies are stuck in the past with this mindset. It's probably unconscious bias — but until corporate culture embraces parenthood fully, these situations will persist. It’s no surprise that the U.S. falls behind other first-world nations in offering comprehensive maternity and paternity leave policies. As HR and TA professionals, it’s our job to advocate for candidates and employees on this critical issue. #ParentalLeave #CorporateCulture
Finally connected with a recruiter yesterday just to be told 30 seconds into the conversation: "Your resume is impressive, but your flaw as a candidate is that you're pregnant and open about it when asked. No one is going to hire someone in their third trimester, even though you're qualified for the position. ...What you need to do is have your kid and jump into interviews 2-3 weeks after they're born so that you can hopefully be working at the 6 week mark." I ended the call. I'm already discouraged. I know timing is tricky. I didn't ask for this. I went from looking forward to a potential 16 week maternity leave to being told by a "seasoned" recruiter that I should jump back into work 2-3 weeks postpartum. Something will work out, I know it. At the right time. **Edit: I am shocked at the impact this experience i've shared has had. I posted this mid-morning and logged off to come back this evening to an outpouring of support from SO many people. Thank you all, truly. There are many comments, messages and connection requests that I am trying my best to work through. I was impacted by an unexpected RIF last month and my previous employer had a generous parental leave policy. That is the number one question i've seen in messages so far, so I wanted to share that info. Thank you all again so much for your support.

I received a call a few weeks ago from a friend—one of those calls that leaves you speechless. She was in tears, struggling to find the words to tell me what had happened. She’d been fired. But it wasn’t just any termination; it happened during her maternity leave. I was stunned. This was someone who had given years of dedication to her company, consistently going above and beyond. She had worked hard to balance her career and personal life, and when she welcomed her new baby, she believed her company would support her during this precious time. But instead of congratulations and understanding, she was met with a pink slip. No warning, no conversation—just a cold, impersonal notice that her position was being eliminated. I couldn’t help but ask myself, “Is this what we’ve come to?” How have we reached a point where loyalty, hard work, and human decency can be dismissed so easily? Where a new mother, in one of the most vulnerable times of her life, is cast aside without a second thought? It’s not just about legalities or policies—it’s about humanity. We talk so much about work-life balance, about supporting employees, but when push comes to shove, are we really walking the talk? My friend’s experience is a harsh reminder that we have a long way to go. As leaders, colleagues, and as a society, we must do better. We need to create environments where people feel valued not just for their productivity, but for who they are as human beings. So, I ask again, is this what we’ve come to? And more importantly, what are we going to do to change it? P.S. Need help with your job search? Send me a DM.

we would never accept a job without a detailed job description. and yet, that is so often what parenting feels like… 😅 the nurse bids you farewell with a “good luck!” and you’re off to navigate this brand new world on your own. “family jobs” is one of the most reassuring frameworks i’ve learned since joining Good Inside. a parent’s job is to validate feelings & set boundaries. a kid’s job is to feel their feelings. that’s it!! of course there is more to it than that, but once i grasped this concept of “family jobs”, it made the uncertainty and complexity feel more manageable. and that’s a win 🎉 i hope it helps you, too! #familyjobs #goodinside #boundaries

🚀 This isn't about gender—it's about roles (but guys, let's be honest, most of you do not fall under the below categories)! Whenever I read a job description, I think: don’t bother asking a woman—especially if she's a mother (but not only) or a primary caregiver (pets included)—if she's customer-oriented, business-focused, creative, resilient, good at multitasking, time management, collaboration, problem-solving, prioritizing for results, working independently and under pressure with minimal or no supervision...The list of skills can go on and on, and spoiler alert: SHE IS. 🌟 Any day that involves taking care of kids, aging parents, pets, and a household (sometimes all of the above in addition to a full-time job), with everyone surviving and thriving, proves she's a master of all these skills. I’m that person 😊 and in 11 years of motherhood, I’ve mastered skills I never thought existed. Think active listening, result orientation, patience, emotional intelligence, strategic planning, conflict resolution, and adaptability. Moms, caregivers (yes, guys included)—you're a great fit in any organization! 💪👏 #CareerSkills #WorkLifeBalance #LeadershipSkills #Parenting #Caregivers #JobSkills #WomenInWorkforce
