Free employer workshop: Parental Guidance – developing your parental support strategy

60-minute workshop that tells you everything you need to know about designing your parent support strategy. You’ll gain insights into where to begin when looking at ways to attract, retain and develop parents in the workplace as well as those all important line managers. It brings the difference between transactional and transformational, allowing you to feel empowered to shape a strategy that aligns to your talent and commercial goals.

What you will learn

This session is going to be an opportunity to hear about how a parent support strategy for your workplace has the potential to be transformational.

We’ll cover:

Where to start when you’re building a parental support strategy (spoiler, it isn’t throwing lots of money at workshops!)

The importance of going beyond policies and understanding the realities of being a parent in the workplace (including best practice examples)

The business case for supporting parents and those with caring responsibilties

Practical ways to sustain your strategy

Three mistakes to avoid when it comes to your parental support approach

Three ideas of shorter term actions that could make a huge difference to your valued team members and your bottom line

This isn’t a sales pitch, but full disclosure – there will be 5 minutes at the end of the session to talk about The Strategy Club from Power of the Parent®, our membership platform for organisations. You’re welcome to log off if that’s something you don’t want to hear about. We might be able to squeeze in some Q&A time at the end too!
