HR Leaders Lab:

Location: The Gherkin, 30 St Mary Axe, City of London, London, EC3A 8BF

Join your peers at this exclusive HR Leaders Lab to learn and work through the urgent business case required for family support – and discuss the risks of ignoring it.

New research with 3,000 UK parents and carers, The Modern Families Index 2025, shows high stress and missed productivity that could easily be fixed to support business performance. Parents and carers report they are feeling less supported by employers now than they were two years ago, just at the moment when Return to Office requires that extra effort.

As employers double-down on the bottom line, and call employees back to in-person working, this key research highlights how a lack of support poses a threat to plans for talent management and sustainable workforces.

Discuss over a delicious sit-down breakfast, in a confidential atmosphere, exploring the research findings, addressing your own organisation’s challenges, whilst extending your network through other large employers and gaining expert guidance.

The insightful discussion will be led by Jennifer Liston-Smith, business psychologist with 20 years’ experience in helping FTSE100 and leading City firms to diagnose issues and implement family support programmes. Jennifer will be joined by further Bright Horizons experts who work day-to-day supporting 400 forward-thinking UK employers to ensure their working parents and carers stay productive and engaged.

Come and explore the business benefits of addressing the issues and challenges working parents and carers face today. Take away action points to help you engage, retain and plan for an ever-changing future.
