Supporting employees through the transition to parenthood is now a core element of many organisations’ talent retention strategies. Five years on from the introduction of Shared Parental Leave in the UK—and with Gender Pay Gap reporting bringing renewed urgency—employers are evolving their policies to retain both women and men as they become parents.
In this timely and insightful session, we will present findings from My Family Care’s New Parent Transition Benchmark, which captures emerging policy trends, highlights innovative employer practice, and explores the real-world impact of supporting new parents effectively.
In this session, we’ll explore:
- What top employers are doing to support parental transitions
- The impact of policy changes on retention and engagement
- The latest research on Shared Parental Leave uptake
- Practical examples from employers leading the way in this area
