Our most recent vlog is something a bit different from our WUN Advocate, Heidi Knapton at South Staffs & Cambridge Water who writes about her positive experience with all things maternity leave, and how employers can best support their staff to ensure a similar seamless journey!

Heidi has said, “it’s really important that employers get this right, as small actions can make a big difference to the parental leave experience. I’ve had such fantastic support from all at South Staffordshire PLC, which has inspired me to educate others to achieve a similar approach.

A special mention to Charley Maher, our Group Chief Executive Officer, who has, on numerous occasions reached out to check in, and advocates for inclusion and equality in the workplace.

I’ll never forget our first conversation when I shared my news – the phrase ‘you’ll come back physically and mentally stronger’ really meant a lot, and gives me the confidence that women really can have it all!”
