Don’t limit your business

As a business owner, you want to enjoy a work-life balance that lets you flourish in a career you enjoy. So, it’s understandable that your employees want the same. Providing structure and support that helps parents to better manage the work side of their life makes sense.

Is your company culture supportive?

With over 13 million working parents in the UK, it’s highly likely that a large portion of your workforce have dependants.

In a recent survey* a large number of working parents, male and female, had made significant changes to their employment in order to obtain a better balance in all areas of their lives.  This includes 10% who deliberately moved into a lower-level to get access to more flexibility. An even larger percentage moved employers completely.

Who loses out? Employers lose skill and experience and have the cost of recruitment on top.

The same survey found that those most satisfied with their work-life balance had stayed with the same employer for longest. A welcoming culture means greatly increased staff retention.

Consultancy and coaching, supporting working parents to create a career to enjoy.

Parenthood is a significant life changing event that impacts on our lives for a long time – years, in fact – in different ways.

New parents face many challenges: Returning to work after parental leave. Managing productivity with sleep deprivation. Balancing childcare and working hours. Discovering a new sense of identity. And so on.

But they have added skills too: Added drive and focus, leading to increased productivity. Better time management and multi-tasking. Negotiating and people skills. Empathy and motivation.

By supporting working parents to balance the challenges, your business will benefit from the skills they bring.
