My organisation

We design bespoke programs for organisations who want to do more to build a family friendly workplace, who want to attract top talent, and who want to engage and retain parents, and who recognise that supporting both mothers & fathers to combine work and family successfully might just be the secret to plugging the leaky gender talent pipeline. Our approach is to build up sustainable peer coaching programs inside organisations. Programs by the employee, for the employee. We recognise the incredible knowledge and experience that already exists inside companies, and with our programs, we bring employees together to connect & exchange. Our significant experience and expertise in supporting companies build family friendly workplaces is used to collect data, to identify opportunities for change, and to implement impactful communication strategies, as we partner with our clients to bring a win win solution for both companies and employees.
