The Hidden Cost of Losing Returning Parents
When talented employees don't return after parental leave, the real cost isn't just recruitment. It's:
-
£15,000-£50,000 per replacement (depending on seniority)
-
Lost institutional knowledge and client relationships
-
Reduced team morale and increased workload for remaining staff
-
Damage to your employer brand as a family-friendly workplace
-
The ripple effect on other working parents considering their future
-
Most businesses focus on maternity leave policies but miss the critical return-to-work transition period where decisions to stay or leave are actually made.
How Hi.Ho.Coaching Reduces Employee Turnover
I work with HR teams to identify the invisible pressure points where returning parents decide to leave:
-
The overwhelming first week back when support systems feel absent
-
Lack of career progression conversations after parental leave
-
Inflexible working arrangements that don't match family needs
-
Feeling disconnected from team dynamics and company culture
-
Uncertainty about managing client-facing roles with parenting responsibilities
My coaching interventions target these exact moments with strategic support that makes staying the obvious choice.
