From the Heart: Family and Medical Leave Narrative Video

The Women’s Rabbinic Network proudly shares this brief video of real employees of Reform congregations describing the impact of paid leave policies on their lives.

It is easy to be caught up in details of the policy and procedures for family and medical leave - and those policies and procedures are very important. However, WRN wants to make sure we all focus on the real individuals and families affected by paid leave. Studies show that employees who receive paid family and medical leave have better retention, better engagement overall, are more invested in their employment setting, and feel more respected.

These short narratives reflect the human face and heart of paid leave. 

We hope you will be inspired by these stories.
