Parental Leave and Re-Entry Ambassador Program

Supporting parents through
our Parental Leave Program

Parenthood comes in many forms—and with each one comes different challenges. To create a culture that supports working parents, we developed a parental leave program to help adoptive, foster, biological, and LGBTQIA+ parents navigate their new phase of life.

The program supports soon-to-be or new parents through community groups based on due dates, prenatal yoga classes, and more. Additionally, over 40 program ambassadors mentor and host events for parents and conduct leadership training for managers to develop transition plans while parents are on leave.

Quotes from program participants

Sarah Kelley

HR Lead – Employee Relations

“Planning for our first baby was as exciting as it was intimidating! We knew there was so much we needed to learn and to prepare for in order to welcome a baby to our lives, but knowing that IG and our Parental Leave team had my back made that aspect of planning such a lighter load to carry. From the moment I shared the exciting news that our little boy was on the way, Merrill took it upon herself to be the light during every stage of the process. The preparation for leave made me feel confident that things would be alright during my leave. The resources that were provided such as Pre-Natal Yoga and calls with Moms-on-Call were incredibly helpful- and fun! The thought and preparation Merrill and the team has put into every step of the program to make it resourceful for parents is unmatched. The best part is that this team truly takes care of our parents to every extent. Thank you for making me feel supported and cared for; I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“I have said before about pregnancy and new motherhood that you don’t know what you need until you need it. Our parental team has thought about everything it seems, and I did not go without resources I needed or getting to the right person who could get me to the resource(s).”
