Get back at your own pace
Coming back after time off can feel like a lot. Talk it through with someone who has done it.
Every stage
Before · during · after
01 — Before
While you’re off
Stay in touch on your terms, prepare for return-to-work meetings, and think about what you’ll need.
02 — During
Your first weeks back
Talk through how it’s going, what’s working and what isn’t, as you build back up.
03 — After
Settling in
Keep going with support as long as it helps, and plan for any bumps along the way.
