Considering the recent circulating text message from a partner at a law firm to an associate returning from maternity leave who decided to laterally move to a different firm, it is a realization that has struck many that there is a disconnect between employer and employee expectations for new parents with regards to parental leave (both maternity and paternity leave). To bridge that gap were are by bringing together employers (firm/company HR and senior partners) and employees (associates/new parents) to discuss expectations, how to manage to expectations, and addressing conflicts with supervisors and colleagues.
