Employers

  • Did you know that 96% of mums say that they would like more support
    from their employers when it comes to combining work and motherhood?

  • In addition, 9 out of 10 Working Mums believe combining career and motherhood has resulted in improved productivity, decision-making and creative problem-solving skills.

  • Most importantly, however, almost 8 out of 10 Working Mums say the benefits of support in the workplace would be better work performance and increased commitment to stay with their employer.

Parentalk at Work is a pioneering Parentalk initiative that has been developed in response to the wants/needs of working parents and employers. It assists working parents in successfully juggling the twin demands of being a responsible parent and a responsible employee and offers a practical focus for employers committed to supporting this valuable section of their workforce. Out track record of working with parents means that Parentalk is ideally positioned to provide this service.

 

The organisations we work with understand that parents' distraction with situations outside the workplace can often have a considerable impact on their happiness and productivity at work. They recognise the need for an innovative approach to parent support and the bottom line business benefits that result. The authentic, ongoing support of parents, either as part of their benefits package or as an integrated part of their personal development programme, can increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and lower company staff turnover.

Parentalk at Work's focus is on providing practical solutions for the day to day challenges which face any working parent, whatever their employment situation and whatever their child's age. While other organisations focus on campaigning for changes in legislation, or more family-friendly working practices, Parentalk at Work concentrates on the here and now - creating options and alternatives for the issues that working parents face today.
