Are you an organisation looking to support your working mothers as they return to work?
A staggering 55% of women who have taken parental leave in the last 5 years felt it had disadvantaged their careers and most say they donât feel adequately supported, understood or catered for by their company upon their return.
With the cost of replacing lost talent between 20 - 213% of an employee salary, it seems a business imperative to ensure your company does all it can to support this transition for your valued working mothers.Â
A supportive work environment that helps working parents to regain momentum in their careers while balancing their new-found family responsibilities, creates an important and highly valued point of difference for many company cultures.
Introducing
The MATRI
Maternity Journey
Â
MATRI is designed to be a working woman's support throughout their maternity journey - a mixture of live webinars, on-demand video content, coaching sessions and community support on relevant issues to enable your working mothers to leave confidently, and to return feeling ready, and strong.
How does MATRI work?
Your organisation invite your staff to the MATRI platform, as a company benefit, to provide genuine support, recognition and understanding for their working female staff.
They join an 18 month âmaternity journeyâ which follows this path:Â
Pre-Maternity leave: Joining live webinars and learning how to manage their exit professionally, signal their intent and ambition to return, and communicate effectively with everyone they need to before they go.
During Maternity leave: Accessing on-demand content on everything from; using KIT days well, maintaining confidence, managing working mothers guilt, and enlisting proper partner support from the start. Towards their return they can access more live webinars on such topics as: choosing the right childcare options, flexible working, reengaging with work and their industry to maintain confidence, communicating and signalling their intent to return.
Post-Maternity leave: Live webinar support with Q&A to understand whatâs working well and what isn't, how to communicate effectively with colleagues and clients, managing their time, managing appropriate and fair boundaries and flexibility with their company, and managing their career effectively moving forwards.
They will be constantly supported throughout their journey, contacted regularly (without being intrusive) to encourage them to stay in touch with their company when and where appropriate, and engaged in the process of being a returning working mother.
