Line Manager’s Guide to Supporting Parents Before, During and After Leave

Empower Your Team and Support Working Parents

The difference between a thriving working parent and one who struggles often comes down to you - the line manager.

While company policies are essential, it’s the everyday interactions and support from managers that shape a parent’s experience at work. Yet, too often, support is inconsistent, leaving parents feeling either empowered or overwhelmed.

Currently, having a child is one of the biggest obstacles to career progression. But it doesn’t have to be. Line managers have the power to change this by fostering a culture where working parents feel valued, supported, and set up for success.

• Best practices to ensure consistency across teams
• Expert advice on navigating conversations, flexibility, and return-to-work plans

By following these steps, you can help working parents balance their careers and family life - without it being left to chance.
