Empowering Work-Life Balance
With many Returners, especially women, taking on significant family responsibilities during their career break, rejoining the workforce brings a pivotal shift in household duties. Addressing these shifts in responsibilities beforehand is crucial. Discussions around childcare, managing household tasks, meal preparations, shopping, and other family responsibilities need to be proactively discussed and planned. Whether it’s through hiring assistance or utilizing convenient services like grocery deliveries, laying out these arrangements is essential for a seamless return to work. Our Be Her Ally Workshop offers strategic guidance to navigate this transitional phase effectively.
