We make a lot of fabulous things at Brilliant Ink. We drive employee experience and communication strategies. We create inventive campaigns, clever videos and compelling infographics. And we even make PowerPoint sing. We also create a lot of little humans, or as we like to call them, Brilliant Babies. As our team gets ready to welcome two new mamas back to our ranks, it got me thinking about the complexities of parental leave and the even trickier bit -- returning to work.

Luckily, we’ve shared a ton of insight on our blog:

• Working 9-5, What a Way to Make a Living

• Welcome Back

• Life's Little Blessings

• Culture Starts at the Top

There are also a ton of inspiring and helpful articles online:

• Why Taking Full Paternity Leave Was the Best Thing I Ever Did for My Family -- And My Career

• We need to stop shaming women for wanting (or not wanting) to return to work

• 9 Ways to Make Returning to Work After Maternity Leave as Painless as Possible

Congratulations to Kate Angus and Lindsay McCleary on your adorable little peanuts and we wish you both a smooth transition back to work. Here’s to all the Brilliant Babies to come!
