Corporate Maternity Coaching
Returning to work after maternity leave is one of the most significant transitions in an employee’s career. Without the right support, many employees can feel overwhelmed, disconnected, and uncertain about their place within the organisation.
Our Corporate Maternity Coaching Programme, delivered by certified transformational coach Zoe, provides structured, one-to-one support before, during and after maternity leave. The aim is simple, to ensure employees return to work feeling confident, supported, and ready to perform, not questioning whether they still belong.
This is not just a wellbeing initiative, it is a strategic investment in talent retention, engagement, and long-term business performance.
The business case for Maternity Coaching
The return-to-work phase is a critical point where organisations risk losing experienced, skilled employees. Without structured support, businesses often face unnecessary costs and disruption.
Research shows:
-
45% of women do not return to work after maternity leave
-
Recruitment costs can exceed £30,000 per replacement
-
Valuable knowledge and experience are lost
-
Teams face reduced productivity during transitions
-
Employer brand and diversity targets can be impacted
At the same time, returning mothers bring valuable new skills to the workplace, including enhanced resilience, prioritisation, emotional intelligence, and time management.
Maternity coaching ensures organisations retain and maximise this talent, rather than losing it.
The Return on Investment
Maternity Coaching delivers measurable business impact.
-
Avoiding just one resignation can fund coaching for 3–5 employees
-
Reduces recruitment and onboarding costs
-
Improves employee engagement and productivity
-
Strengthens employer brand as a family-friendly organisation
-
Supports diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) goals
-
Builds a more resilient and loyal workforce
This is not simply a benefit, it is a cost-effective retention strategy.
