Episode #6 - The return to work process and why it is so important

In this episode, I am talking to a good friend of mine Sasha - Sasha is the MD and Employee Experience lead at wrkflow, a digital employee experience design agency based in Singapore. Before relocating to Singapore from the UK, Sasha spent 10 years working in HR leadership and HR technology consulting roles with brands like Samsung, Capgemini and ServiceNow. Most recently, Sasha led the ServiceNow alliance and Powered HR Transformation offering at KPMG for the ASPAC region before launching her own business in 2020. She’s a certified human-centred design practitioner, a HR Tech Advisor at HerCapital and holds an MBA from the University of Aberdeen.

We talk about how to prepare for your maternity leave when you are pregnant, how to manage your work and managers when you are on maternity leave, what a great return to work experience looks like, and why it is important, and also how to make returning to work that little bit easier. It was hugely thought provoking and is a topic that both Sasha and I are hugely passionate about. Sasha and I co teach on our 'Return to Work' course, which helps to prepare and empower those returning to the workplace following maternity leave.

Sasha's recommendations during the podcast are books: The fifth trimester by Lauren Smith Brody (https://www.amazon.sg/Fifth-Trimester-Working-Sanity-Success/dp/0385541414/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+fifth+trimester&qid=1622106567&sr=8-1), and Work. Pump. Repeat by Jessica Shortall (https://www.amazon.sg/Work-Pump-Repeat-Survival-Breastfeeding/dp/1419718703).
