Having recently returned to work after maternity leave, I’ve found the phrase 'going back to work' to be misleading and I believe the same can be said when using the phrase for other types of long-term absence. It suggests the employee is going back to the same job (not always the case), in the same environment (often not the case - especially at the moment), and in the same personal circumstances as before (rarely the case).
Going 'back' is not the right way to look at it. Then again, it isn't starting afresh either. Returners want to re-enter the workplace with the same level of goodwill and respect they held when they left.
So why is it important how we see a return to work? And how can employers better support employees on their return after long periods of absence?

Coronavirus has had a disproportionate economic impact on women. Women, and particularly women of colour, were more likely to be employed in sectors closed by the pandemic (such as retail and hospitability), less likely to receive a discretionary top-up to furlough pay and devoted significantly more hours to childcare than men. A new campaign by Maternity Action calls for across-the-board reform of parents’ rights in the workplace.

A small, but vocal, band of anti-vaccination conspiracy theorists (so-called “anti-vaxxers”) are convinced that Covid-19 vaccines are not safe. Could employers be liable if anti-vaxxers are discriminated against, or ridiculed by their colleagues, for their views?
