Parents: I'm helping out with the Parenting Playbook (the following up to The Expecting Playbook).

I'd love to include this community's top picks. ... See MoreSee Less

Honestly, Amanda, what's truly important is empathy. I was the first parental leave in a company with close to 100 people.. in fact I may have been the first parent. I would have traded a houseful of servants for a little empathy. I believe the workforce needs an education on how to welcome new parents back to work, not the other way around.
Agree with Jennifer - and I appreciate this is a tough problem for even large corporations to solve. On things I hope companies think about: 1) Inclusion: I didn’t die, I had a baby. I didn’t stop caring about my team or the mission of the company, so how do employees want to be engaged while they are off. This isn’t the same for everyone - but I would have participated in strategy sessions / offsites, come in for social functions etc. At least ask if they want to attend and allow me the opportunity to influence critical decisions if it’s going to materially affect me when I come back to my role 2) Flex hours / work from home: This isn’t just for parents, but young kids are germ factories - I was really surprised by how many days my nanny was sick, I was sick, and my baby was sick my first year back at work Services that are helpful: 1) Night nurse for those returning back to work while the baby isn’t sleeping through the night. Unless you have a unicorn baby who did this from day 1 in which case don’t tell anyone you have that easy of a baby! 2) Backup childcare - from nanny agencies, to extra days at Kid & Co for emergency backup care 3) Decision support for childcare - nanny vs daycare, how to find them, whether an agency makes sense, things like Wee Watch for licensed home care etc
Let me know if I can help Amanda Munday :) I am just finishing up my back to work online course to help moms returning to work after maternity leave (and collaborating w some lovely folks!)
Oh and essential....links to mental health resources...resources regarding childcare options and links to parent support groups etc. Do I count as a resource? ;)

Yes to all those, plus... During parental leave: Mom & baby fitness classes, baby activity/classes (i.e. music), new mom community groups, kid-friendly restaurants, drop-in centres. For return to work: Nanny agencies. Are you looking for specific names?
Pubic Health does a great mom and baby class for new parents. They get all the new moms with babies from 0-6 months and then 6-12 together at the local library and they do stories and songs but they also listen to your hard ships and talk through a topic like feeding, sleeping etc each week. You can sign up in their chat function on the cities website. Really great way to meet other parents in your community if you are a first time parent (or not)
My wife found some area "mom's groups" through our local library. They had weekly singalong programming there and that kind of thing. Not particularly exotic, but being able to find other women in the same shoes was super helpful. Gave her a chance to speak to adults once in a while (other than me) and also gave the baby a head start on making some friends int eh neighborhood.
We've been building up loads of content on resources & info for soon-to-be / new parents. Happy to chat about information we pulled from various focus groups. www.breathelife.com/parenting
Amanda Munday - I would love to see the finished product. Where can I find it? Has there been an update to The Expecting Parent? Thank you!!

Health / Healthtech - creating an alliance to pilot and commercialize.
Hi there, I work for an innovation team at a hospital. We have an opportunity to partner with private companies. This partnership would provide access to a network of more than 20 health care organizations. I think overall it's to help scale and sell across Canada and potentially internationally but it benefits a Canadian hospital. It does require something in return to the hospital itself.
I have a list of projects that were funded last year as examples.
Trying to solve a problem that would generally be at multiple/many healthcare organizations. It doesn't have to be tech focused but generally from the projects I see, 90% were tech based.
An MVP/proof of concept at this point would move this forward for funding this year. The hope then is to take this and sell.
Also, even if you prefer another hospital, here's the site explaining how this all works. Of course selfishly, I'd like it to be us!!!

By now most of you have read the Alex Danco post about our ecosystem.
We have put together a livestream for this Friday to answer the question: Is angel investing broken in Canada?
The first section will include Farhan Thawar (Shopify), Eva Lau (Two Small Fish) and Arjun Sethi (Tribe Capital) discussing the answers to such questions as:
* do we invest more in startups or cottages?
* what works in the US?
* what should we do better to support startups?
The second section will feature with a fireside with Chris Neumann who just returned from SF (where he was with 500 startups) and Kyle Campbell (CTO.ai) about their Canadian experience.
Join us Friday at 12pm EST/ 9am PST by signing up here:

Anyone here who’s familiar with payroll? Looking to get advice on how to get paid by a UK company. What’s the best setup?
It’s a full-time employee position. ... See MoreSee Less
Comment on Facebook 2394772839_10158938965612840
They will need to register for a local BN and payroll account number. They can start paying you a salary using that then. Probably a good idea to have them lined up with a payroll account number
Two options, 1. Setup an entity in Canada like Junaid mentioned. 2. Partner with local entity, in this case you will be employee of local company for CRA purpose. UK company will sign contract with local company. Msg if you like more details.
Companies like Manpower offer local payroll services for foreign entities
I just went through this myself but the other way around. If the company you're working for is a small company and this is their first time, they will need to determine what's best for their business interests. I can tell you that we decided to stay away from payroll services. The best advice I can give is that they connect with a local accountant who does payroll to discuss what option is best for them. The problem with registering an entity is that it could have other tax repercussions for them depending on their business. Since it is possible to be an employer without setting up an entity in the UK, they might assume the procedure is similar in Canada. Connecting with an accountant will allow them to figure out their best option, what's required from them as an employer on an ongoing basis, and how much it will cost them over all.
Why don’t they pay you as a contractor?
Easiest option for 1 or just a few hires in a country is to use an EOR - like Panther. Happy to intro you to them.

Great profile piece on Wattpad in The Verge, focusing on its plans to turn teen fiction into Hollywood hits.
"The company launched in 2006 and now has more than 90 million monthly users, with nearly one billion stories published that generate 22 billion minutes per month in total reading time. Like LiveJournal and Tumblr before it, Wattpad allows burgeoning authors and fans of different shows, books, movies, or celebrities to find a place to celebrate their shared fandoms.
Now, Wattpad wants to work with its authors to create an empire that expands beyond its webpages. Executives are turning their eyes to the burgeoning streaming industry, where platforms like Hulu and Netflix need a consistent flow of movies and TV shows to keep people watching. Teen romances, dramas, and comedies are in high demand, and Wattpad is sitting on a treasure trove of IP just waiting to be adapted. Young authors who start using Wattpad to experiment with their own writing could soon find themselves navigating the intricacies of Hollywood at a time of industry revolution."
