I am willing to work with my team to delegate tasks, provide necessary training, and assist in any way possible to minimize any disruption to ongoing projects. I am confident that my colleagues will be able to handle my workload in my absence, and I will be available for occasional consultation if needed.

I understand that the company may require periodic updates on my status during my maternity leave, and I am more than willing to provide these updates as required. Please let me know if there are any specific procedures or forms I need to follow to facilitate this communication.

I value my role within the company and the contributions I make to the team, and I am committed to returning to work fully prepared and dedicated after my maternity leave. I appreciate your support and understanding during this important time in my life.
