How to retain employees

Supporting parents in either starting or growing their family has never been so complex or critical for a positive employee experience and successful retention of your team. It is also a tricky time for those with people responsibilities and you might be faced with decisions about how to strike the right balance between organisational demands and the needs of the individual.

Your actions as a line manager during parental leave management matter, so you can ensure successful engagement and retention of your people as well as creating high performing trust based teams.

This 60-minute workshop will cover:

The context for why supporting new and expectant parents is a key priority for 2023
A deep dive into the practical and psychological experience of returners
Key themes that help or hinder successful retention
Examples of best practice leadership

You will leave

Equipped and confident for retaining employees returning from parental leave
With new awareness of how best to support your team member
With practical ideas for action that can be implemented today

Join organisations such as HSBC, Google and the British Library who are already providing this training to their senior leadership teams.

The session is led by Lizzie Martin PCC, accredited leadership coach and founder of WLM, who is here to help you better engage and retain your valuable talent returning from parental leave.
