Management of Maternity and Parental Leave (MPL) is an essential part of diversity management, and employers should place equal emphasis on it as they do on other dimensions such as gender or age. MPL essentially covers three key areas: maintaining contact with the employee, supporting professional development, and ensuring a smooth return to work. Interest in managing MPL is currently growing in the Czech Republic and will become even more crucial, especially with the full entry of Generation Z into the workforce. Unfortunately, MPL management is often underestimated and burdened by stereotypes. Rational neglect, the halo effect, or avoidance of communication by employers are just a few examples of managerial oversights, all of which are thoroughly discussed in this article. A well-structured approach to MPL enables companies to retain talent, strengthens employer branding, and can currently be financed through available grant opportunities.
