About This Webinar

With the UAE's Year of Family as a backdrop, this powerful webinar explores a critical question: are organisations doing enough to support employees when they return to work after having a baby? Transitioning back to the workplace is a profound life change, yet many current corporate offerings fall short of providing the necessary support. In this session, you will gain insights into what additional support could realistically look like and how organisations can bridge the gap between their current benefits and what returning parents actually need to thrive.
