Parental Leave Experience Layer
Retention Starts,
Long Before Return.
Standardise leave. Protect continuity. Retain returners.
Parent Card is the experience layer that turns policy and intention into predictable outcomes. No new system. No extra admin. Just consistency that scales.
Already in motion with forward-leaning employers protecting talent pipelines and fee-earning continuity.
Turn Parental Leave into Predictable Retention— not unintended attrition.
Consistency drives Retention. Retention fuels Continuity. Continuity compounds Value.
Avoidable Attrition
Protect high-potential talent where losing one return can cost £150k–£350k+ in replacement, ramp, lost productivity and pipeline disruption.
Productivity Preservation
Reduce stalled returns, knowledge gaps and handover drag that leak revenue, slow delivery and inflate operating cost.
Pipeline Continuity
Maintain performance momentum and succession flow — protecting leadership continuity and long-term enterprise value.
Predictable Retention — Not Avoidable Loss
When leave is operationalised instead of improvised, high-value employees stay, returns strengthen momentum, and continuity compounds value.
Consistency → Retention → Continuity → Compounding Value

When leave is operationalised instead of improvised, organisations avoid the costs of replacement, ramp time, continuity disruption, and knowledge loss.
Designed to model your exposure in minutes — before you invest.
The Challenge Isn't Policy.
It's Consistency.
Standardise parental leave. Protect continuity. Retain returners.
When every manager runs leave differently, outcomes depend on luck, familiarity and capacity — not policy. This creates avoidable disruption, slower reintegration and preventable loss of high-potential talent.
Early clarity reduces disengagement risk
Aligned expectations from day one prevent avoidable pauses in performance and return delays that lead to extended absence and replacement exposure.
Steady connection sustains performance continuity
Consistent touchpoints prevent knowledge gaps and slowdown — reducing the productivity dip and protecting client delivery.
A supported return protects your talent pipeline
Structured transitions accelerate reintegration and maintain progression momentum — safeguarding succession planning and leadership continuity.
Strong policies don't guaranteestrong outcomes.
Engagement weakens during leave
Inconsistent communication erodes confidence and increases the risk of extended absence.
Managers deliver uneven experiences
Without shared guidance, leave varies across teams and regions — driving inconsistency and avoidable workload strain.
Progression and performance stall on return
Unstructured transitions slow reintegration, weaken momentum and impact leadership readiness.
Employer brand and attraction power decline
Fragmented experiences reduce your ability to attract and retain high-potential talent.
