Case Study: Effectively Managing Maternity Leave
The case study scenario:
Four out of seven team members became pregnant around the same time, which is a huge challenge for HR because all had to take maternity leave at the same time. With more and more women attaining higher positions that are more crucial to business operations, how can HR manage this effectively?
The solution provides for careful planning of each member's project leave; defining who else within the team can assist with the workload. Alternative solutions are also addressed, such as temporary workers and/or outsourcing.
