Parental Transitions & Retention program

Designed for organisations who want to better support employees through maternity/ paternity leave and return-to-work, retain experienced women, and equip managers with the confidence and capability to lead inclusively.

This is a practical, evidence-led programme that supports employees before, during and after maternity leave, while helping organisations strengthen the systems, facilities and manager capability required to retain women long-term.

Support is delivered ahead of leave, during time away, and throughout the first 90 days back at work, alongside manager training and organisational improvements that reduce bias, address the maternal wall, protect wellbeing and support sustained performance.

Grounded in motherhood-informed coaching and workplace best practice, the programme turns a high-risk career transition into a supported return that benefits both employees and the organisation.

Address these common challenges with this program:

  • High attrition of women 6–18 months after returning to work

  • Loss of confidence, clarity and performance post-maternity

  • Inconsistent manager capability and decision-making

  • Unconscious bias and the maternal wall

  • Increased absence, burnout or disengagement

Becoming a parent brings significant psychological, physical and identity changes that directly affect confidence, capacity and performance at work. When these changes are understood and supported at both an individual and organisational level, employees return with greater clarity, engagement and long-term commitment.
