Maternity coaching – a process, not an event • As a provider of maternity coaching, I know that it works
• It works for the woman who wants to return to work, preparing her for all the practical and emotional issues around re-integrating to the workplace
• It works for the organisation, ensuring that the returning employee is ready to make a full contribution as quickly as possible
• Writing recently for The Guardian, Melanie Richards, a corporate finance partner at KPMG and head of its Women's Network, drew attention to this important insight. Indeed, at KPMG they recognise that another critical can arise some two years after the initial return to work – at the point when an employee may feel that her career is not progressing as it should or is considering having a second child
• The simple fact is that it is in everyone’s interest – the woman’s, the organisation’s and society’s – to prepare women for their return to work and to continue to support them once they have done so
• Question: If you have taken a break to look after a baby or child, what is the single best thing your employer can do to help you maintain your career?
