What can you do to engage and retain this significant portion of your talent?
Working mothers are finding it almost impossible to balance work and home and keep everyone happy. Add the cost and complexities of childcare arrangements and you have a recipe for disaster: Organisations are losing valuable female talent in droves.
This conflict between work and home is costing corporate organisations millions of pounds in replacement, reduced productivity and tribunal costs. Then there is the seldom quantified but significant cost in terms of management in dealing with all these issues. The CIPD estimates the average cost to replace an employee at £8,200. For professionals and managers, the calculation is more like 3-5 times their salary.
Organisations who want to be an employer of choice to stay ahead of the competition in talent management turn to Corporate Mothers.
At Corporate Mothers we have spent the past five years specialising in helping working mothers. We have seen the struggle that they experience in balancing work and home life, the toxic nature of guilt and stress, and the impact all this can have on work performance. We have seen too many talented women simply resign because they can no longer cope.
However, we also appreciate that organisations have a difficult balancing act of their own keeping up with increasingly stringent legislation whilst maintaining profitable and competitive businesses.
At Corporate Mothers, we offer a range of unique and innovative Sixty Minute Seminars™, workshops and specialist Maternity Coaching Programmes. Our services and products will help you attract, engage and retain working parents whilst still bearing in mind the need to achieve a return on your investment.
As the Founder and Director of Corporate Mothers, I look forward to working with you in becoming the kind of organisation that is a magnet for talented working mothers.
