Watching female talent leave your organisation or step back after becoming a parent is challenging, costly and common.
It happens because:
💡High Talent Drop-Off
Career-minded women exit after parental leave, regardless of your investment in succession planning, because demands at home and work lead to burnout.
💡No Clear Return Path
Returning mums commonly face an unstructured, overwhelming work re-entry, with processes not designed to ensure the arrangement is successful from the start.
💡Culture Lags Behind Policy
Hybrid work and parental leave entitlements exist, but an enabling culture hasn’t caught up.
💡Unprepared Managers
Leaders struggle to have meaningful, informed and supportive conversations that reach returning parents.
💡Inflexible Structure
Employees are demanding part time, hybrid and flexible options, but your structure is designed for full time employees.
💡Hard to Prove ROI
You know support matters, but organisations need metrics.
Replacing a skilled employee can cost up to 150% of their salary and mothers returning from parental leave are one of the most at-risk groups for turnover.
Mothers are not leaving due to a lack of personal ambition or capability.
It's due to a lack of support.
