dc.description.abstractThis research study investigated the implications of parental leave on individuals socially, physically, and mentally on their family and organizational work structure. The main hypothesis of this investigation was that there are negative implications physically, socially, and mentally on organizational work and family structure. The present study recruited 49 participants from a Facebook group to fill out a 20 to 25- minute survey consisting of both multiple choice and open-ended questions. Majority of participants lived in places where there was no state mandated parental leave policy in place leaving them to rely on the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA). Participants reported not understanding their parental leave policy and felt current parental leave policies are bias exclusive, and unrealistic. Participants felt the lack of support attributing to the negative implications of their parental leave policy came from colleagues worrying about their increased workload and the inability to be financially stable within their given time off. This study highlighted the flaws in current parental leave policies and how to create better parental leave policies to serve the needs and wants of parents.en_US
