Tips on returning to work after having kids
- The best time to start thinking about starting a business is when you have just had a child. The little gift will make you want to do better.
- Know your rights. Flexible working hours can be applied to allow you to go back to work part time.
- It may sound hard but when you are at work you need to focus on work and not be distracted
- You have just had a nice long break with your baby and are returning to work. You will have had time to think about about your future and your goal so now is the time to get this into motion. Remember you don't just have yourself to look after but a wee bundle of joy.
- Get good childcare in place and don't wait until the last minute as you can't let your employer down
- Remember if you are married you both have a baby so you need to share the responsibilities of your child. So if your child is sick you need to take it in turns.
- Before you go back to work have an open discussion with your boss so they are not left in the dark. This is also your opportunity to find out what's been happening in the company during your maternity leave. Take your baby in and show him/her off to your colleagues/boss.
- Remember you can be a wife, mother and have a successful career. It's all about getting the work/life balance right.
- Remember it's not how hard or how many hours you work, it's about how smart you work and what you achieve in a day.
- You should look forward to going back to work and it shouldn't be something you dread. Ofcourse you will miss your baby but it's great to have a balance which allows you to have the best of both worlds and remember your baby will love it's time in nursery/having different people around him/her
