Reimagining the pattern
You care about your people and want them to feel supported and valued but in a world overflowing with stories of burnout, bad practices and negative experiences, it can feel impossible to get that message across.
And let’s not forget the expectant, new and returning parents themselves. They’re hearing the same messages and if you tell someone something often enough, well, the stats say it all.
What needs to happen is a shift in perspective. Employees need support to reframe their parental leave as an intentional, transformative phase that can up-level their career and personal development.
Years of experience have proven to me that when this happens, leave becomes more than a confidence bashing pause. It’s a springboard for growth and career momentum that simply requires a different approach.
Imagine if we could get this trending in your business instead…
Expectant and new parent talent not just coming back to work but coming back feeling good about themselves, their plan and purpose.
Talent not even looking at competitors who would love to recruit them because they know they’re in the right place to progress with you.
Improved expectant/working parent talent uptake on progression opportunities.
A culture around leave that paves the way for win-win experiences and outcomes, attracting even more of the best talent in your sector.
Thanks for stopping by.
I’m Lynn White, the maternity/parental leave coach behind Talent On Leave, which I started in 2018 after several years lived experience of leave and return, training with the Association for Coaching, and delving into a whole host of perinatal specialisms.
If there’s only one thing you remember about the work I do from this website visit, let it be this; It’s not necessarily the practicalities of leave, early parenthood experiences or working parenthood itself that makes ongoing career progression such a struggle for so many. It’s the emotional weight of every spinning plate preventing us moving more smoothly and confidently.
