Where Policy, Process, and Practice Come Together

Employers need to retain and support working parents in their workforce. Why? Because working parents bring diverse perspectives, unwavering commitment, and invaluable skills—especially when they’ve grown alongside your business.

But we know the challenges working parents face are nuanced and often deeply personal, which can make it difficult for organisations to pinpoint where to focus their efforts.

That’s where Careers After Babies steps in.

Our accreditation framework makes it simple. It’s where policy, process, and practice come together to create a workplace where working parents can thrive.

Drawing from extensive research, we’ve developed a framework built around seven key themes that define what it takes to truly support working parents. Each theme is designed to be actionable, giving your organisation clear, practical steps to create meaningful change.

By following our framework, you’ll not only retain and support your working parents—you’ll also position yourself as an employer of choice for top talent. Together, we’ll raise the bar for what it means to be a world-class employer of working parents.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT

For many businesses, it’s not just the loss of female talent after they have children, but rather all the complex and nuanced issues driving this loss. It’s costing a fortune, leaving businesses short of talent and preventing true gender equality. 

With the Careers After Babies accreditation, we make it easy to understand those issues, we work with you to identify solutions and we share extensive learning and experience from our pioneering community. 

Intrigued? Our launch partners can tell you more but you really have to experience it yourself and just see how unique and transformative our accreditation can be.
