Rose Jilka Training & Coaching

Are you a family-friendly employer looking to support your employees before, during after parental leave, so that they can return to the workplace feeling confident, valued and engaged? Returning to work after several months away is a huge time of change in any parent’s life and many are struggling with it. Results from a survey of maternity returners show that: 90% were not offered any formal support. 37% felt so unsupported they considered handing in their notice. Only 18% of respondents felt happy and confident about returning to work. I work with you to develop a bespoke plan for your company so that you can be confident your managers and returners are getting the support they need to successfully manage the return to work. We can do this through any of, or a combination of the following… Training designed to develop awareness in managers and provide them with guidance about supporting parents to be and new parents in their team through pregnancy, parental leave and on their return to work. Coaching for employees on parental leave who could benefit from support through the transition of returning to work. Group Support which is a monthly drop in session for employees during their first few months after returning to work designed to build a sense of belonging and a support network. By providing managers and employees with the tools and resources that equip them to work through what can be a particularly vulnerable time in an individual's career, you are: Demonstrating that you value your employees. Improving the understanding, awareness and confidence of managers dealing with employees before, during and after parental leave. Helping strengthen relationships between manager and returner. Building loyalty. More likely to retain your highly skilled employees. Preparing your employees for a successful return to work. Helping employees feel engaged and productive.
