Communicating and Navigating Maternity Leave

It often goes unspoken and unwritten, but maternity leave is a vital topic that shouldn’t be a roadblock for either the mom doc or the practice. Sometimes it can be challenging to have difficult conversations, but those difficult conversations are what is needed. 

In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Deyo joins me to discuss how she navigated maternity leave with her boss and is nearing the end of her leave and ready to transition back into patient care. 

Our goal with this episode is to touch on a few aspects that will serve any moms-to-be and the clinic owners so all parties involved can start to look at this as not an issue and very manageable. 

In this episode, we discuss three main topics: 

  1. How excellent communication amongst both parties is key to navigating this effectively.

  2. What moms-to-be should consider before and during maternity leave.

  3. How the clinic can financially manage maternity leave and potential short-term loss of revenue.

  4. What owner chiropractors should do to prepare for this so hiring a female chiropractor is based on merit and not having any concerns for maternity leave.

  5. How to transition into and out of maternity leave.

  6. What should be considered in your employment agreement.

We hope this episode helps start the conversation around this topic and gives the profession some more guidance on what is fair for maternity leave and how to take all the clinic’s variables into consideration.
