Today, in our stand-up meeting, I witnessed a powerful moment of empathy and understanding. 🤝 A female colleague announced her upcoming maternity leave, to which a male colleague jokingly wished for six months off too. Our onsite manager, Richard Hardie Assoc. CIPD, FLPI, MITOL, replied both swiftly and insightfully: "It's not a leave, but hard work, and managing all those sleepless nights is a task in itself." 🤰 Maternity leave is far from a vacation—it's a period of significant physical, emotional, and mental effort. As a society and as professionals, acknowledging the challenges and sacrifices involved in maternity leave is crucial. 👪 Kudos to leaders who understand and champion this cause! What are your thoughts on how we can further support our colleagues during such critical times? #MaternityLeave #WorkplaceEmpathy #Leadership #Support #Respect
