Testimonials
“It’s a dynamite program. I get the employee back a lot quicker. When an individual is out on maternity leave, under California law, I can’t replace them. I’m short-handed for the whole time. But this way, I get the mother back in eight to ten weeks and I have coverage again. And the mom is happy because she has time to bond with her baby. It’s a win-win for both employer and employee.”

“Some of my direct reports thought I was off my rocker when I said I wanted to do this. But I asked them to be helpful and to give it a try—and if it didn’t work, we’d let it go. Some of the biggest naysayers became some of the biggest champions when they found that, from just giving a little bit, we were retaining important staff members who were big contributors. It has been a very, very positive program for our workplace.”
