Make this consistent across the organisation by developing a communications and advocacy campaign on flexible workplace practices. - Extended leave / return to work support plan
Develop a plan to include agreement on how the employee would like to be engaged while they are on extended leave. - Shadow for a day (or longer)
Offer employees the opportunity to shadow their supervisor/manager or team leader once a year or more often. - Succession planning
Continue to progress with identifying successors for roles. - Job advertisements
Review job ads to ensure gender neutral language is used and ensure transparency around new appointments - Increase networking opportunities
Make accessible for all employees across the organisation - Establish goals and targets
Make these actions measurable to track progress
