FOR HR AND PEOPLE LEADERS
Your people are leaving.
Not because of the work.
Because of the pressure around it.
Working parents are one of your most valuable - and most at-risk - groups. ParentWorks partners with organisations to retain them, re-engage them, and build the kind of inclusive culture that makes people want to stay.

THE CHALLENGE
Flexible working is a start.
It is not enough on its own.
Most organisations have policies in place for working parents. What they often lack is the human support that helps people actually use them - and thrive.
The result is quiet disengagement, reduced hours, and eventually resignation letters from people you did not want to lose.
The return from parental leave is the highest-risk window. But the pressure does not stop there. Working parents at every stage need support that meets them where they are - not a one-size-fits-all solution.
The return-to-work gap
Most parental leave policies focus on statutory entitlement - not on what happens when someone comes back. The first 3-6 months post-return are when you are most likely to lose them.
Manager capability
Line managers are the single biggest factor in a working parent's experience - yet most receive no support on how to lead them well.
Generic support that does not fit
EAP resources and off-the-shelf solutions rarely account for the individual. Working parenthood looks different for every person - and the support should too.
HOW PARENTWORKS HELPS
Personalised coaching that protects your people - and your business.
ParentWorks programmes are delivered as personalised 1:1 coaching, with group coaching options available for organisations where parents are navigating similar transitions together.
01
Coaching for Parents Returning to Work
The most in-demand ParentWorks programme. Personalised 1:1 coaching helps employees returning from parental leave rebuild confidence, reconnect with their career, and navigate the transition back with clarity - reducing first-year attrition and protecting your investment in senior talent.
02
Coaching for Working Parents at Every Stage
The challenges don't end at return-to-work. 1:1 coaching supports working parents through childcare pressures, career pivots, and the ongoing juggle - keeping them engaged and performing throughout their career with you.
03
1:1 Coaching for Leaders of Parents
Personalised coaching that helps leaders think through real situations with the parents they manage - finding the right approach for their unique team. Managers leave with clarity, confidence and next steps that are entirely their own.
04
Workshops for Parents, Carers and Managers
Sometimes a group format is the right fit. Half-day coaching-led workshops give your people practical tools and genuine insight - whether they're preparing for leave, returning to work, or supporting others through the journey. Available as standalone sessions or as part of a broader ParentWorks programme.
FROM A PARENTWORKS CLIENT
“It gave me space to pause, reflect, and gain perspective during an incredibly busy time. Rebecca's supportive approach helped me feel calmer and more balanced - I finished coaching feeling so much better equipped to manage everything at home and at work.”
