Retaining Top Female Talent: Strategic Support Through Matrescence
I partner with organisations to strategically educate leaders and build supporting systems around Matrescence
30.9% of women in your workforce will leave their job within a year of returning from maternity leave.*
This isn't a benefits issue; it's a leadership and culture gap. The attrition is driven by a lack of strategic support for the profound transition known as matrescence. The result? A stalled leadership pipeline, the steady loss of institutional knowledge and talent, and unnecessary recruiting costs.
I work with forward-thinking organisations to transform this liability into an asset. My programs educate your managers and empower your high-achieving women, helping you replace the Motherhood Penalty with a strategy for sustained success.
We achieve this by:
Elevating Managerial Competence: Training your leaders on matrescence to turn them into strategic, compassionate retention agents.
Building Internal Resilience: Establishing a powerful peer-support system that reduces isolation and ensures mothers remain high-performing contributors.
It's time to invest in the talent you already have and secure the future of your female leadership pipeline.
