Building maternity leave benefits shouldn’t just address women’s needs before and during the pregnancy — they should also cover the return to work.
Forty-three percent of women never return to work after their maternity leave, according to a recent report from fertility benefit provider Maven Clinic. Of those who do return, 53% want more support from their employer when it comes to balancing work and the responsibilities of parenthood. And it’s up to benefit managers to make the transition as smooth as possible through comprehensive benefits and policies.
