Can Maternity Leaves Hamper Productivity?

When a valuable team member announces she is going on maternity leave, the logical question becomes, "How are we going to survive without her?"

Do not panic! With a little planning, your department can fill the void.

Give yourselves enough time to recruit a suitable temporary consultant - and build in sufficient overlap for the consultant to train with the employee going on leave.

This will ensure a smooth transition with minimal downtime and greater productivity.

Timing is everything - start planning today!
