Maternity Coaching: Part of your talent retention strategy

by Jennifer Liston-Smith, Head of Coaching Development

81% of respondents said talent management programmes make them feel more engaged at work, according to a Summer 2010 Survey Report from the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development).

The CIPD report goes on to remark on the self-fulfilling nature of talent programmes: they raise participants' game.

Maternity coaching works in the same way: repeatedly we're struck by the change taking place from woman returner feeling quietly concerned, hoping she can slip back unnoticed, to a returner valuing the contribution she makes and planning for constructive conversations, balancing new needs with business imperatives.

Showing employees they are valued in specific, personal ways is always worthwhile, but particularly so at this transition when so much is in question.

Maternity coaching at a critical career moment

The support and thoughtful challenge provided by a maternity coach can have a decisive impact at this critical career moment. Combined with a childcare consultant for practical support, the return to work looks suddenly more manageable and motherhood can even be acknowledged as unleashing more of her potential, her talent. The myths about multi-tasking often prove to be true, when she stops to notice.
