that actually works.
Support working mothers in a way
Retention, engagement and leadership don’t exist separately from real life.
And for many women, motherhood changes how work is experienced - often in ways organisations don’t fully see.
The Problem
Many workplaces rely on policies alone to support working parents.
But policies don’t always translate into day-to-day experience.
Without deeper understanding, organisations risk:
💼 losing experienced, capable women
💼 seeing confidence and progression stall
💼 creating cultures that unintentionally exclude
💼 placing the responsibility back on individuals to “figure it out”

There's no single way to support women through their return to work.
But support is needed.
More organisations are recognising that the return to work deserves proper support — not just a welcome back email. Depending on what your team needs, there are a few ways we can work together.
