Welcome to The Parenthood Advantage
Because parenthood doesn’t set people back — it pushes them forward.
At The Parenthood Advantage, we help companies build workplaces that recognize the unique strengths working parents bring. Through coaching, training, and strategic consulting, we partner with organizations ready to attract, retain, and grow exceptional talent — not in spite of parenthood, but because of it.
The Parenthood Advantage: Building Corporate Cultures That Value Working Parents publishing launch date is October 14th! Click here learn more, listen to our podcast/radio interviews and find links to buy the book.
Why It Matters
The cost of not supporting working parents is too high to ignore.
📉 43% of highly qualified women leave the workforce or off-ramp after having children.¹
💼 Companies with strong parental leave policies see a 6.8% boost in profit per employee.²
🔁 77% of employees are more likely to return to work after leave if they feel supported by their manager.³
💡 Working parents develop enhanced leadership skills: empathy, prioritization, crisis management, and long-term thinking — all assets in today’s workplace.
Your organization can’t afford to lose this kind of talent — and doesn’t have to.
What We Do
We offer programs designed to meet your team where they are:
🔹 Parental Leave Coaching for employees and managers
🔹 Live Workshops on leadership, reintegration, and team dynamics
🔹 E-learning Modules for flexible, scalable support
🔹 Culture Audits & Strategic Advisory to align your workplace with today’s realities
🔹 Keynotes & Executive Briefings to spark lasting change
We’re not about accommodation. We’re about transformation.
Did You Know?
💬 The majority of managers say they don’t feel prepared to support an employee through parental leave — yet manager support is the #1 predictor of a successful return.⁴
👶 The average age of first-time parents in the U.S. is 30 — meaning your leadership pipeline is filled with new parents.
🎯 Organizations that support working parents see increased employee loyalty, reduced attrition, and a stronger leadership bench.
