'This is the book I really needed when I first became a working parent!' - Kathryn Bishop, CBE
Welcome to the world of working parenthood...
Wondering how you’ll still do your job as well as being a parent?
Want to have a conversation about changing your working pattern but not sure how to approach it?
Don’t really know where to start with creating a return-to-work plan?
This how-to guide is designed to help you every step of the way on your journey to becoming a working parent – from before you head off on parental leave to while you’re away and on your return. Catherine Oliver has not only been there and done that but has supported many thousands who have chosen to take on the dual roles of parent and employee.
It will also be invaluable if your partner is taking a longer period of parental leave, or if you’re a manager worried about doing or saying the wrong thing. In the past this support has only been available to employees of big corporates: now you’re holding it in your hands.
Catherine Oliver is a Diversity and Inclusion Advisor who specializes in helping organizations from start-ups to the largest listed companies support working parents and their managers. She became a parent herself during her 20-year corporate career and founded Sky’s parenting network.
'An excellent practical guide to working through the many challenges of becoming a working parent.' Colin Jones, ex-COO, Sky
'As a first-time expectant parent this book was a game-changer.' Emma McKinley, Mum-to-be & Finance Director, Haleon PLC
