Coaching
Transition & Career Development Coaching for Women
Maternity Coaching consists of:
- A three or four session programme that supports senior female executives before, during and after maternity leave.
- Each session addresses key needs and issues that arise at critical times during pregnancy, maternity leave and returning to work.
- The content of each session is tailored to individual requirements.
- To drive performance, coaches focus on key professional strengths - an important theme throughout the sessions.
- Some programmes for clients include line-manager coaching sessions to support managers to effectively manage and motivate their maternity leavers.
- A key part of our strategy is working closely with clients to develop solutions tailored to their business.
Both experience and research point to Maternity Coaching offering the following benefits to organisations:
- Significantly improved handover and maternity leave planning and clearer contact contract.
- Coaching does improve retention. Client data shows that maternity coaching improves the proportion of women returning to work and staying in the workplace 12 - 24 months following return.
- Coaching through a transition facilitates a faster return to full productivity.
- Offering employees this critical support significantly enhances an employer's image as a 'family friendly' employer.
- A highly cost-effective intervention compared to:
- the economic impact of losing experience, client relationships and corporate knowledge
- the high cost of recruiting experienced senior people
- the time delay - from departure, to recruitment, appointment and a new employee being productive and effective.
