HR Webinar:

We hope that you enjoyed joining our experts from Bright Horizons for insights and practical advice on how to retain and empower your key talent population. Chaired by our Head of Thought Leadership, Jennifer Liston-Smith, pioneer of parent transition coaching and leading influencer in the field.

This webinar spoke about today’s competitive environment for talent retention, people taking maternity and other parental leave can be an obvious leak in the talent pipeline. Many either don't return, or find themselves side-lined from their career-track once they come back. 

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Employers can benefit from retaining highly engaged and experienced working parents, with a few simple adjustments. There are practical steps to take before, during and on return from leave. And the options are much broader than only enhanced leave policies ranging through coaching, mentoring, management training, app-based support, networks, care solutions and more.

We gained answers to the following much-asked questions; and even new questions of your own:

• How can you benchmark your provision across sectors and design the right programme with the greatest impact?
• What role do managers and leaders play in creating a culture and walking the talk around empowering working parents?
• How do you enable working parents to remain visible in a flexible and hybrid working world.
• Are your policies fit for changing gender expectations, and a wide range of family dynamics?
• How will you build your internal business case and measure impact?
