Return-To-Work Program

Our Return-To-Work Program pairs new birthing parents with experienced SQuad parents, or mentors, for one month after they return to the workforce. This mentoring relationship is designed to provide personalized support, easing the transition back to work.

How It Works

• Weekly Meetings: Mentors and mentees will meet once a week. These meetings will offer guidance, advocacy for needs, and continuous support in various forms.
• Personalized Mentorship: New parents will receive tailored mentorship to help them navigate their return to work.
• Cohort Experience: The program creates a cohort of new parents who can share their experiences and support each other.
• Guidance and Training: Mentors will help bring new parents up to speed on what happened or changed during their leave.
• Access to Resources: Participants will have access to new resources, meal trains, and more to support their transition.

Benefits of the Program

New parents participating in the Return-To-Work Program can expect to find several benefits, including:

• Personalized Support: Mentors provide one-on-one guidance tailored to each new parent’s unique situation.
• Shared Experiences: Being part of a cohort allows new parents to share their experiences and find solidarity in their journey.
• Updated Information: Mentors help new parents catch up on any changes or updates that occurred during their leave.
• Additional Resources: Access to helpful resources, meal trains, and other forms of support.

At Student Quarters, we are committed to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all our employees. Our Return-To-Work Program is just one of the many ways we strive to support our team members during important life transitions. We believe that by providing the right resources and support, we can help our new parents thrive both personally and professionally.
