Fill in: 'We ___ parental leave coverage months in advance with the whole team, rather than scrambling the week someone's actually due to leave.'

Fill in: 'Waiting until the last minute to plan coverage can ___ a whole team's workload dumped onto one unprepared colleague overnight.'
We say late planning will 'leave' workload dumped on one person — the standard, natural collocation for the resulting strain. The other options aren't idiomatic here.

Fill in: 'We ___ clear interim ownership for every one of the departing person's responsibilities, so nothing quietly falls through the cracks while they're out.'
We 'arrange ownership' — the standard, simple collocation for assigning temporary responsibility during a leave. The other options are less idiomatic here.
4 / 5
Fill in: 'We ___ the handover plan in writing before leave begins, rather than relying on memory once several months have actually passed.'
We 'document a plan' — the standard, simple collocation for recording a handover before an absence starts. The other options are less idiomatic here.

We 'phase a return' — the standard, simple collocation for easing someone back into work gradually. The other options aren't idiomatic here.
