1-1 coaching approach
Returner coaching addresses the practical and psychological challenges faced by professionals re-entering the workforce after a period of parental leave. Common themes include rebuilding confidence, managing change and uncertainty, personal effectiveness and wellbeing.
How it works :
- Your employee will be able to choose their preferred coach from a shortlist of parental transition coaches.
- Sessions will be held virtually or in person (may incur additional costs)
- Returners normally have 3- 6 sessions ideally starting before their parental leave commences.
