Overview

Supervision is one form of support, but support goes beyond just that.
The role of managers in supporting staff preparing for parental or adoption leave or returning from long-term absence is crucial in ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining a positive work environment.

We aim to equip managers with the skills and knowledge required to support specific staff groups with any needs.
For example:

• Staff planning maternal, parental, or adoption leave.
• Staff returning from leave to work after a prolonged absence.
• Staff requesting sickness leave.

We also hope to explore specific Imperial policies and local procedures in place that need to be followed.
