6) Pregnancy at Work in the Netherlands: HR Advice on Leave and Rights

Announcing your pregnancy at work shouldn’t feel like a risk to your career. In this episode of Dam Parenting, we’re joined by Iram, an experienced HR manager, to provide a warm, honest, and direct roadmap for navigating the workplace while expecting.

We dive into the "how-to" of breaking the news to your manager with confidence and clarity. Iram breaks down the essential Dutch maternity and paternity leave policies (Wazo and Geboorteverlof), ensuring you know your legal rights from day one. We also discuss the often-overlooked role of HR in supporting your transition and how to plan for a smooth return to work. Whether you are worried about "pregnancy brain" in meetings or curious about how to negotiate flexible hours post-leave, this conversation offers the professional insights you need to advocate for yourself and your growing family.
