Читать книгу The Parental Leave Playbook - Sue Campbell - Страница 25

When new parents have adequate time, space, and support during the transition to parenthood, it makes for healthier relationships in all spheres. At work, when communication is open and honest and leave planning is thoughtful and transparent, the relationship between the new parent and their manager (and often their team and HR) is strengthened. Team communication and trust as a whole improve when the handoff of duties is clear and well communicated and everyone understands their temporary role. Successful transitions can be used as a model for other teams in the organization and can become standard best practice. At home, parents can bond with their new child and—if there are two parents—with each other, to form equitable caregiving divisions that will prevent future strife and allow them to return to work with confidence that their home is a safe haven to refuel and restore.
