MAKING WORK WORK FOR PARENTS

Kick off our second ‘new year’ of the year with Jessica Heagren, founder of Careers After Babies, in conversation with Hannah Porteous Butler, founder of The People Practice Group and champion for working parents. Hannah’s mission is closely aligned to ours, and is simple, but powerful: to make work work for parents — so business works better for everyone.

In this insightful session, Hannah will share how organisations can unlock the full potential of their working parents by turning good intentions into measurable outcomes. You’ll hear how bridging the gap between policy and practice, balancing empathy with performance, and aligning individual needs with business goals creates inclusive workplaces where parents return with confidence, managers lead with empathy, and HR teams deliver real impact.

If you want to discover why supporting working parents is not just a wellbeing initiative but a smart talent and retention strategy, this event is for you.

Expect practical insights, real-life experience, and actionable advice to help your organisation retain parent talent, close the gender gap, and build a culture that truly supports working families.
