See the Full Picture of Parental Leave
Parental leave is changing. Day 1 rights, rising employee expectations and increasing pressure to attract and retain talent are prompting employers to rethink their approach.
Yet many organisations are still looking at parental leave through too narrow a lens: focusing on policy alone.
The reality is that parental leave outcomes are shaped by the entire ecosystem around the policy.
Why attend?
Whether you're reviewing your parental leave offer, preparing for legislative change or shaping your people strategy for 2027, this event will help you:
*A very small number of our nurseries are not able to offer all of the above, please check with your nursery for specific details.
