Work and Baby

ABOUT US

Having a baby is an incredible adventure. But balancing your career with your family can be tough. We can help you find that balance. We are coaches, parents and experts in the world of work. We are Work & Baby. Welcome to our community.

PARENT COACHING

We support parents as they transition back to work after being on maternity, adoption or shared parental leave. In our 1:1 sessions we tailor the coaching to you and your specific situation.  It might be helping you transition to part-time or looking at ways to manage the juggle of work and home life.  We have 20 years of experience in organisational psychology, HR and career coaching. And we’re working parents too. In our unique courses we combine practical videos and insightful exercises to build your complete plan for success.

MANAGER COACHING

We help managers support members of their team as they return to work from maternity, adoption or shared parental leave.  During 1:1 or group coaching sessions we help managers consider the challenges parents might be facing as they return and the actions they can take to support them.  These might be logistical challenges as they balance home and work, emotional challenges as they leave their baby at home or simply how to help them get up to speed and feel part of the team again as quickly as possible.
