Confident Transitions:
Empowering New Mothers in the Workplace
Over 60% of mothers don’t feel emotionally or mentally prepared to return post-leave. Returning to work after parental leave marks a pivotal transition that can profoundly shape a new parent's experience, engagement, and career trajectory. While the length of parental leave receives considerable attention, the transition back to work is often overshadowed, leaving many parents without the necessary support. Challenges during this period range from inadequate re-onboarding processes to navigating complex workplace dynamics. New parents that are equipped with a strong re-onboarding strategy are 3x more likely to smoothly transition back into work life than those without.
"Confident Transitions" is a tailored coaching initiative designed to empower new mothers as they re-enter the workplace after parental leave. This program focuses on equipping participants with strategies to effectively manage childcare concerns and engage in open communication with managers about needs such as pumping schedules, flexible work hours, and handling unexpected events. You'll develop a personalized transition plan to present to your manager, ensuring a supported and assured return to work. Through engaging with proven strategies and receiving encouragement from peers, you'll rediscover your professional rhythm, excelling at work while nurturing a fulfilling family life. Join us to confidently embrace and thrive in your dual roles.
