Disha - Returnship of women to the workplace after maternity leave

This white paper highlights women’s returnship experiences navigating the transition back to the workplace following maternity leave. The paper derives its insights from interviews with working women with over ten years of professional experience in Bengaluru, Delhi, and Mumbai. Using these insights, the paper lays a roadmap for managers and organisations to support and retain incredible talent who just happen to be mothers. It also offers logistical, emotional and mentorship advice to expectant mothers on various themes. It presents a firm and clear case for organisations to become more inclusive, equal and employers of choice for women across all levels. It presents the case that belongingness and empathy are values organisations and employees need to harness.

Through a comprehensive examination of both personal narratives and organisational practices, we aim to shed light on the realities faced by returning mothers and the efforts being made by employers to facilitate a smooth returnship experience. The goal of this paper is threefold:

  1. to highlight prevalent issues
  2. to propose actionable interventions and solutions
  3. to empower managers and expectant mothers with practical guidance as they navigate this critical phase of their professional and personal lives.

The practical steps and recommendations for all stakeholders mentioned here show a path to progress, and the insights provide valuable starting points for organisations to create a set of impactful interventions and guidelines for the future.
