our mission

Making workplaces somewhere parents can thrive

Since 2018, Power of the Parent® has partnered with organisations to champion parents in the workplace, equip line managers with the right support, and drive strategic impact for business leaders.

our philosophy

Here to help businesses attract, retain and develop their utterly brilliant teams, while making workplaces somewhere parents can thrive.

Supporting parents in the workplace can feel like a huge task but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Combining fresh ideas with what’s already working well, that’s the sweet spot. It also makes cracking business sense. With an eye watering £30,000 being the average cost to recruit in the UK, there’s a lot to be said for retaining your valued talent.

We partner with organisations to craft parental support strategies that align with both commercial and people plans, ensuring a blend between business priorities and employee experience.

Through considered, tailored approaches, we help businesses move beyond good intentions to practical action—whether that’s shaping policies, equipping line managers, or delivering coaching and workshops for parents.

Our work is designed to create meaningful, lasting impact, fostering a workplace where both individuals and organisations can thrive.

Charlotte is absolutely incredible. The care, preparation, and expertise that she provides means that you’re left with a finished product that will become a long term resource for your company and colleagues. The Learning Sessions that Charlotte provided were insightful, relevant, and thorough. I would highly recommend her to anyone who’s interested in learning and offering learning opportunities for parental support in the workplace.

KIND WORDS

It has been a pleasure to work with Charlotte in recent months to craft some tailored training for line managers supporting parent colleagues in their teams. As part of developing the session, Charlotte took the time to meet with several colleagues from around the business to listen to and understand their experiences and the challenges they may have faced owing to their parental responsibilities, and that was borne out in some targeted feedback for the business in how we can best support parents, both within and outside the workplace. The two live sessions (one at a very bright-eyed 5am to accommodate APAC and ANZ colleagues) were thoroughly practical and thought-provoking, and we have had some fantastic feedback from colleagues and managers who attended. We will be integrating these resources into our reboarding program and I'm confident they'll help to improve the experience of parent colleagues at Taylor & Francis. Many thanks to Charlotte and I hope we'll have an opportunity to work together in the future.

KIND WORDS

Charlotte is one of a kind. She has a powerful, kind and empathetic energy, enabling anyone lucky enough to work with her to feel like they can!! She doesn’t shy away from the tough stuff and her honesty, pragmatism and realness is all part of her magic. Thankful for every opportunity to work with Charlotte, I’m always left feeling inspired. I can certainly say the same for colleagues too, from educating managers on the topic of baby loss, to supporting police officers and staff to rerun to work, she’s been utterly brilliant on everything we’ve worked on, offering help, support and mentorship along the way, without realising the impact she has.

KIND WORDS

Charlotte has been amazing to work with. The insight she brings to hear and understand the challenges women feel returning to work after children helps so many. Just wish it had been there for me when I had my daughters.
