A Boston-based customer engineer at Google shared her experience of returning to work after taking seven months of maternity leave. She highlighted how splitting her leave into two parts, along with three additional strategies, significantly eased her transition back to the workplace.
Firstly, she emphasized the importance of maintaining open communication with her team. Regular check-ins before her return helped her stay connected and informed about ongoing projects, which alleviated anxiety. Secondly, she found that establishing a flexible work schedule allowed her to balance her new responsibilities as a mother while gradually re-adjusting to her professional role.
Additionally, she advocated for creating a supportive network among colleagues. This network provided emotional support and practical assistance, making her feel valued and understood during the challenging adjustment period. Lastly, she noted the significance of self-care, encouraging new mothers to prioritize their well-being to foster a smoother transition back to work.
