How do we navigate parenting while working? In this episode, our hosts discuss the challenges and experiences of being working parents by focusing on workplace policies and the transition of taking parental leave and returning to work. They discuss the policies that were available to them during their parental leave and the support they received from their respective workplaces.  Additionally, they highlight the pivotal role that legislation, such as the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, the Providing Urgent Maternal Protections Act (the PUMP Act), and the Nursing Mothers Act has had in improving accommodations for all parents. They do so by highlighting the significance that the culture of a workplace has in portraying a corporate company's initiative and commitment to upholding these policies. Join us for an engaging discussion that reminds us of the role that we play in creating a supportive environment for new and expecting parents and the steps that we can take to create an inclusive workspace.
