Leave Planning and Support Resources for Employers, Employees, and Colleagues


A well-supported leave experience does not happen by accident. It requires intentional planning, open communication, and organizational commitment. This packet provides six practical resources to help make that possible. We encourage organizations to download and share the relevant resources with their leave-takers and leave-managers, but these resources are equally valuable when used independently by anyone taking or supporting leave. Each resource is designed to stand alone and may be used independently or together as a complete toolkit. They are fully customizable, allowing you to adapt to your institution's or organization's unique circumstances.
