In this episode, Kortney talks to Allison Whalen about paid parental leave. Allison is the founder of Parentaly, a company that helps improve the parental leave experience for everyone: the expecting employee, their manager, peers, direct reports, and business leaders. Paid parental leave doesn't just benefit families, it's a game changer for businesses, too.
Allison shares how companies that champion parental leave gain a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent. Strong parental leave policies may seem like they would cost a business, but in reality, they are a smart investment for any company's future.
Navigating the transition back to work after parental leave can seem daunting, but Allison and I discuss practical solutions to make it easier for both employees and their managers. We talk about personalized coverage plans and strategies for a smooth and meaningful return. Allison illuminates the importance of a thoughtful approach to parental leave policies—ensuring they're not just a checkmark on a benefits list but a true pillar of workplace culture. Join us for a thought-provoking look at the delicate intricacies that can make or break the parental leave experience, and how getting it right is a win-win for everyone.
More About Allison Whalen
Allison started working on Parentaly after she returned to work from her first parental leave and found her piece of the business in disarray and her direct reports unhappy. After surveying her peers, she found the #1 complaint and reason for attrition and unhappiness after parental leave was due to the disruption the time away created in their careers, not parenting or health concerns.
