What's Work Got To Do With Paid Parental Leave
Guest: David Hurtado, Sc.D., Julia Goodman, M.P.H., Ph.D., Dr. Dawn Richardson, M.P.H, DrPH
Host: Sam Greenspan, M.P.H.
It's springtime and you know what that means? Babies! Sorry if that was too personal no pressure! But it’s kind of a personal episode. Today, we want to consider, have you ever had to take time off as a new parent? Or to care for an older family member? Did your workplace have a family or medical leave policy that allows you to take time off to care for a child or family member? Did you use all your time or have to use sick leave? Was there policy for new mothers AND fathers? Or maybe you’ve just had to pick up the slack for co-workers taking advantage of this policy? How’d that make you feel? And why is this an issue right now?
To dig into these issues and concerns, we’ll be talking to Dr. David Hurtado, Dr. Julia Goodman and Dr. Dawn Richardson about their recent evaluation of a Parental Leave Policy that was recently implemented for all Multnomah County employees.
