Going back to work after having a baby is one of the most complex and EMOTIONAL challenges new parents face...

yet it's a transition that many navigate with lacking clarity on their EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS and WORK-LIFE BALANCE options.

There are so many questions - how much maternity and paternity leave am I really entitled to? Can I request flexible working hours? What if I'm still breastfeeding? What happens if I decide I can't return to my old role? How do I create a sustainable work-family balance that actually works?

Despite employment laws being designed to protect parents, many feel overwhelmed when it comes to understanding their workplace rights and successfully negotiating the return to work after welcoming a baby. Detailed information about employment rights for working parents and support for work-family integration is often scattered and hard to find. Many parents return to work unsure of their options, missing out on entitlements, or struggling to establish boundaries that protect both their career and family wellbeing.

Together with Dr Charlene Baldacchino Gauci (Senior Associate at Mifsud and Mifsud Advocates) and Elena Mamo (Counselling Psychologist and Gestalt Psychotherapist), we invite you to RIGHTS + NEW STARTS - a FREE* live webinar that will empower working parents with essential employment law knowledge and practical strategies for creating sustainable work-family balance.

*This webinar is supported by Mifsud & Mifsud Advocates.

BOOK YOUR SPOT

Did you know that in Malta, employees have the right to request flexible working arrangements after returning from maternity or paternity leave...

...and employers must consider these requests seriously? Yet many parents don't realize they can formally request reduced hours, remote work options, or adjusted schedules to help balance work and family life!


Why should you sign up for our RIGHTS + NEW STARTS webinar?


Unlike generic parenting workshops, this webinar addresses the intersection of legal rights and emotional wellbeing specifically for Maltese families.

  • It's Comprehensive: You'll get both legal expertise and psychological support in one session - not just one perspective.
  • It's Malta-Specific: We'll address the actual laws and cultural context that affect families in Malta.
  • It's Interactive: You'll get the chance to ask your own questions about rights and emotional concerns in a live Q&A session.
  • It's Inclusive: This webinar is designed for both mothers and fathers, recognising that parenthood is a shared journey.
  • It's Free: This is an opportunity to learn from experts with zero commitment.

By attending, parents and parents-to-be will leave feeling informed, supported and empowered - rather than anxious about the unknown aspects of their parenting journey.
