Maternity Coaching

Support women through maternity and help them easily transition back to work

What is Maternity Coaching?

Maternity coaching supports women before, during and after maternity leave. Maternity coaching focuses on helping women adapt to their new responsibilities and successfully deal with the challenges of balancing a career with childcare.

Making it possible for mothers to have successful careers is essential for businesses to maintain gender diversity. Several large businesses, including Ernst & Young, have shown maternity coaching is an effective employee retention tool for women who would otherwise be forced to leave work.

The Stats Behind Maternity

  • 40% of mothers returning to work had a more negative experience and 63% of mothers who had a negative experience in returning to work left their company within 6 months. (Bloom, 2021)

  • 85% of women leave the workforce within 3 years of having children. (Careers After Babies Report, 2022)

  • 45% of women view the transition to motherhood as a key pinch point in their career. (Talking Talent, 2012)

The Importance of Supporting Women Through Maternity

Supporting women through maternity is crucial for businesses to maintain gender diversity and excel financially. According to research by McKinsey, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to perform above the national average financially.

Companies cannot expect to remain competitive in the modern business landscape if they fail to implement successful policies to support 50% of global talent. With 85% of mothers leaving the workforce within 3 years of having children, implementing effective support for mothers is essential and a real source of competitive advantage.
