Working mothers show up to work having already negotiated, problem-solved, and adapted, usually before 8 am. They are strategic thinkers, emotionally intelligent leaders, and some of the most focused, resilient people in your organisation.
The companies that recognise this and invest in them find that the return goes far beyond retention. They get sharper thinking, stronger loyalty, and more motivated, ambitious women than ever.

Behind every one of those statistics is a skilled, experienced woman who wanted to stay — but didn’t feel supported enough to. And behind her departure is a very real cost: recruitment fees, onboarding time, lost institutional knowledge, and the quiet message it sends to every other woman watching.
But here’s what the same data tells us: get the support right, and the difference is significant.
Research into structured maternity coaching programmes found that women didn’t just stay, they performed. 77% maintained or improved their performance grade, and retention measurably improved. The message was simple: support works.
Return to Work Coaching
Because returning to work after maternity leave is one of the most significant professional transitions a person will ever make — and it deserves to be treated that way.
Your employee hasn’t just been on leave. She has fundamentally changed. Her priorities, her sense of identity, her relationship with work — all of it has shifted. And she is walking back into an environment that may not have changed at all to meet her.
Return to work coaching bridges that gap. It helps her reconnect with her professional identity, rebuild her confidence, and step back in not just as the person she was — but as someone even more capable, with more to offer than before.
For your organisation, it means she lands back with momentum rather than quietly disengaging. It means you retain the talent you invested in before she left. And it means she knows — from the moment she returns — that her future here is real.
Delivered as a structured programme before, during, and after return.

The skills motherhood develops: emotional intelligence, strategic thinking under
pressure, empathy, resilience. These are exactly the skills your organisation pays a premium to find in senior leaders.

Half Day Coaching Workshop
High-impact, honest, and built around what working mothers actually need to hear.
This workshop creates a rare thing in most workplaces: a space where the real experience of working motherhood can be named, examined, and worked through. The guilt. The relentless mental load. The pressure to be fully present everywhere, always. The quiet fear that ambition and motherhood are somehow in conflict.
They are not. And this session proves it. Participants leave with practical tools, renewed clarity, and the knowledge that they are not alone — and that their employer sees them.
Topics tailored to your organisation. Ideal for ERGs, women’s networks, team away days, or company-wide wellbeing initiatives.
Full Day Coaching Workshop
Transformational work for organisations serious about keeping brilliant women in the pipeline.
The full day programme goes deeper. It combines personal development with professional strategy — helping working mothers not just cope, but genuinely thrive. Participants reconnect with their ambition, get clear on where they want to go, and leave with the tools and confidence to get there.
This is the kind of investment that people talk about for years. That changes how someone sees herself at work. That makes her feel — perhaps for the first time — that her employer is actually in her corner. That loyalty is not something you can buy any other way.
Best suited to leadership development programmes, high-potential talent cohorts, or organisations going through cultural change around gender equity.
Ongoing / Retained Coaching
Because the challenges of working motherhood don’t resolve after a single session.
They evolve. They shift. A mother returning from leave has different needs to a mother navigating a promotion, or a senior leader managing a team while running a household. The pressure doesn’t stop — but with the right support, it becomes something they move through with confidence rather than something that holds them back.
A retained coaching relationship means your employees have consistent, expert support across every stage: returning, re-establishing, progressing, and leading. It means you’re not just reacting to attrition — you’re preventing it. And you’re building an organisation where women can see a future, not just a present.
Monthly or quarterly programmes available. Tailored to your workforce and goals.
This Fits Within Your Existing Budget
Many organisations fund our programmes through mental health, wellbeing, or learning and development budgets — so this doesn’t necessarily mean a new line of spend.
And the return stretches well beyond wellbeing. When you invest in a working mother, you’re investing in performance, loyalty, progression, and culture all at once. It’s one of the most efficient investments a people team can make.
We’ll work with you to build something that fits your organisation’s size, structure, and goals.
