Learning and Development News - New Government legislation prompts maternity coaching

Fears that this extended period of absence from the office will make it even harder for women to re-engage once they return to work has promoted drc, an all-female executive coaching consultancy to offer maternity coaching.

Women returners encounter all sorts of stress and pressures, including loss of confidence, lack of up-to-date knowledge and changes to self-image. Many women do not return, and maternity is often cited as one of the reasons for the perceived “glass ceiling” preventing women rising above a certain level of seniority in business.  Maternity coaching will support senior female businesswomen before, during and after maternity.

This collaborative service aims to improve outcomes for both women in senior roles and for the organisations that employ them. The coach partners the senior businesswoman from announcement of the pregnancy to the business, through planning for the maternity break, becoming a mother and finally the return to work. This enables women to leave well, stay motivated, then re-engage with work successfully. Maternity coaching empowers working women to take responsibility for making their maternity positive both for themselves and their employer through one to one, confidential coaching sessions that offer the right support and the right challenge at the right time.
