Supporting Employers to Help Their Working Parents Thrive

Being a working parent isn't a single moment of leave and return. It's years of juggling that shape who applies for promotion, who stays and who quietly steps back. Without the right support, organisations lose experienced people just as they're ready to lead.

We work with employers who want to keep and grow their working-parent talent, mothers and fathers alike, at every stage: before and during leave, on return, and through the years that follow.

Employers who:

see retaining working parents as key to their sustainability and leadership pipeline
want to close the progression gap for women, whose careers too often stall after children, while recognising that fathers and co-parents increasingly want to share care without sacrificing their careers
understand that working parents are a critical part of the workforce
believe no one should have to choose between a senior career and their children

How we work with employers

Sponsor places on our Fellowships and programmes: Leadership development designed specifically for your parents, learning alongside peers from other sectors.
Talks and webinar series for working parents on career progression as a parent, including building confidence, managing workload, career sponsorship and wellbeing.
Partner with your Employee Resource Groups to support and strengthen their impact.
Research and insights: Work together to assess what's working and where gaps exist when it comes to supporting your working parents.

These are just some of the ways we work with employers. With almost a decade of experience, we're experts in supporting working parents at every stage, and we'd love to talk openly about what would work best for your organisation.
