Maternity Coaching
Retaining Your Key Women
Are you doing all you can to ensure your "maternity leavers" become "maternity returners"?
Maternity Coaching supports high-achieving women to successfully manage this important transition in the context of their professional lives.
Recent research has highlighted the current "brain drain" of female talent from big organisations, as companies lose significant numbers of highly skilled and experienced senior women. The unnecessary loss of key talent has an economic and commercial impact on organisations in the short, medium and long term.
Maternity frequently coincides with a critical point in women’s careers, when they are on the partner or senior management track. Recent research has identified that organisations are losing key women who opt out or move to more flexible employers. Legislative changes also mean that women are taking longer maternity leave periods. This increases the challenge of re-entering the organisation.
The Maternity Coaching Programme was designed by highly experienced coaches to support both women and their employers to meet the challenges that this period of transition can create. The Programme consists of 3 or 4 coaching sessions before, during and following maternity leave, facilitating much more effective and permanent transitions back into the workplace.
Maternity Coaching works with both the individual and their line manager to facilitate better communication, effective working practices and more motivated people. It provides effective support during a critical period of transition. Based on their experience as coaches and as working mothers and backed up with latest research, this dedicated programme was designed to support both women and their employers to overcome the challenges of the maternity work gap.
The Executive Coaching Consultancy was the first to develop and to launch a Maternity Coaching Programme in the UK and now work alongside market-leading organisations to improve retention and realise their diversity strategies.
In the battle to retain high-calibre women, promote true diversity and retain valuable employees, maternity coaching offers the only tried and tested means of making a difference.
