There’s a large room for improvement when it comes to the support Canadian employers offer their female workers during their maternity days, according to a recent report.
Overall, nearly half of mothers report dissatisfaction with their organizations’ support during maternity leave, reports Maturn.
Nearly two in five (39 per cent) of the Canadian respondents say they did not receive employer financial top-up during their maternity leave. Also, 59 per cent of those who received financial top-up were not offered other benefits such as coaching programs, counselling or childcare assistance.
