Do you feel daunted by the idea of returning to work after maternity leave? Or just want to make sure your return goes as smoothly as possible? Do you want to make sure your career doesn’t stall after maternity leave?

9 out of 10 mothers experience problems returning to work after maternity leave and a prolonged absence from work can reduce engagement, motivation and workplace wellbeing by as much as 20% when people return.

Maternity coaching helps both individuals and organisations manage the transition smoothly. Maternity coaching, and help with planning, ensures you make the right return to work plans and decisions to suit your individual circumstances.

‘Thrive after maternity leave – plan a confident return to work for GPs’ is a group coaching course where you can be supported by a highly experienced Coach and a small group of your peers to plan the return to work that is right for you.
