Luliana unwraps the importance of embracing leave

Episode 7 explores why time off is essential for Amdocs employees. Taking a break is not a disadvantage for a person’s career. Paternal leave needs to be encouraged for new fathers and employees should take a break without worrying about the security of their roles.

Luliana shares her personal experience with taking a break and how she moved into a new role after returning from maternity leave. Taking time off should be viewed as a positive commitment to our families and a healthy work/life balance. Time management can be a challenge to employees coming back from parental leave which is why new parents need help and support.

Topics include:

  • The different types of time off
  • Encouraging paternal leave
  • Discrimination against employees returning from a break
  • How employees should be supported when taking time off
  • Embracing your break without worry
