Supporting Parents Is Smart Business
Becoming a parent is one of life’s most profound changes — and one of the biggest transitions in an employee’s career. Returning to work while caring for a child brings new responsibilities, mental load, and shifting priorities.
How your company supports that transition matters. A warm, intentional return can turn a tired, overwhelmed parent into a loyal, focused, and highly motivated team member.
At Forelder, we partner with companies to create parent-inclusive workplaces that improve retention, reduce burnout, and build trust — because when parents thrive, your business does too.
Retention starts with real support.
When a parent returns to work, they don’t come back the same — and that’s not a bad thing. They’re more focused, more efficient — but also more stretched. Without the right support, their performance and well-being suffer — and so does retention.
Parents Don’t Cost You Productivity — They Multiply It
Why Investing in Parents Pays Off?
Foster team empathy, not friction.
When colleagues and managers understand what working parents are navigating, team dynamics improve. We help you build a culture of empathy that strengthens collaboration instead of straining it.
Lead with clarity during life transitions.
Becoming a parent is one of the biggest shifts in a person’s life. Clear, compassionate communication from managers during this time makes all the difference. We equip your leaders with the tools to create win-win solutions for everyone.
Create a parent-inclusive culture — and thrive.
When parents feel seen, supported, and valued, they give back tenfold — with loyalty, focus, and drive. We help you shift from business-as-usual to business-that-works-for-parents. The result? Better retention, lower stress leave, and a stronger team.

Strategy That Fits Your People
Every company is different — and so are the challenges parents face when returning to work. We work closely with your team to understand your unique context, data, and culture. Then we develop a tailored, practical strategy to support working parents, improve retention, and build long-term trust.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach — it’s real solutions for your real people.
Workshops
Shared Tools, Real Connection
We facilitate group workshops that help parents navigate the juggle of work and family — together. These sessions create a safe, supportive space where parents can reflect, connect, and learn simple tools for managing energy, boundaries, and overwhelm.
We also offer workshops for leaders and managers, giving them the insight and tools to better support team members transitioning back from leave — and creating a culture that truly understands what it means to be a working parent today.
Parent Coaching
Individual Support, Company Care
Sometimes, the best support is personal. With a coaching agreement in place, your employees can book one-on-one sessions with us directly. These conversations are confidential, empowering, and focused on helping parents manage their everyday challenges — so they can show up at work feeling capable, calm, and clear.
