In this interactive session, Leila Travis, Company Founder and Executive Coach, invites you to explore how organisations can better support talent after being out of the workforce for an extended period, and how this can positively impact not just individuals… but teams, organisations, the industry, and wider society.
Not having the right or sufficient support before, during and after an extended period of leave, can be costly. For an individual, it can affect their mental health and sometimes career; for businesses, it can mean losing talent and money.
What opportunities exist to improve the experience for everyone involved? What is happening when everything is going well? What is happening when things go badly? How can we raise awareness in ourselves and others to ensure we are doing everything in our power to support people, in a truly effective way? What are the core reasons why a significant number of people leave a job soon after returning to work? What can we do to minimise the risk of losing talent from the industry?
Leila will be sharing key insights and encouraging you to participate, with your own experiences and views. It is a unique opportunity, as a peer group, to share learnings and become a collective force for good.
