To ensure that maternity career transitions run smoothly and efficiently, employers can offer employees Comeback Coaching delivered by one of our psychologists. This career transition support can be provided to mothers who are returning to employment after a maternity leave or a more extended period of raising a family.

Employers who purchase Comeback Coaching have a positive impact for both the returning mother and the organization. More specifically, these companies demonstrate that the working mother is a valued employee and show that they are willing to support her reintegration into the workplace.

Overall, Comeback Coaching supports working mothers to:

• Develop a return to work plan to facilitate an effective transition
• Take ownership for their career development
• Develop strategies to effectively integrate the roles of employee and mother
• Gain clarity regarding career goals
• Bolster confidence that may have diminished due to being absent from the workplace
