Designed to help you understand some of the key issues and employer responsibilities when managing maternity leave and the rights of staff returning to work after maternity/paternity leave we will discuss how employers can ensure that women are treated fairly, share good and poor practices, and promote practices that can help employees and SME employers achieve their full potential.
