Coaching for Working Parents and Carers at Every Stage:
Supporting Wellbeing, Inclusion, and Career Progression
Protect your organisation from the hidden costs of burnout, disengagement, and talent loss.
Working parents and carers face complex challenges throughout their careers, not only during the return-to-work phase. Without inclusive, ongoing support, organisations risk losing skilled employees, seeing higher absenteeism, and facing stalled progression within key talent pipelines.
This one-to-one coaching empowers working parents and carers to navigate the competing demands of work and family life, build confidence, and pursue growth opportunities such as promotions or career transitions - safeguarding both individual wellbeing and organisational performance.
“83% of working mothers report experiencing burnout, contributing to increased absenteeism and reduced productivity.”

How the Coaching Works
This programme supports working parents and carers not just in managing day-to-day challenges but also in progressing their careers and wellbeing sustainably. It helps parents develop clarity around their career goals, overcome mindset blocks, and build confidence to pursue opportunities such as promotions and leadership roles. By focusing on career development alongside wellbeing and inclusion, the programme helps retain diverse talent and reduce burnout.
This programme is made up of six one-to-one coaching sessions, delivered bi-weekly over approximately three months.
Coaching is fully tailored to each parent’s or carer’s stage of life and career, and typically covers topics such as:
Sustainable workload management and wellbeing.
Career clarity, growth, and readiness for promotion or new opportunities.
Building confidence and addressing mindset challenges.
