What is Coaching?
Life changes when we become parents and carers - career goals, family priorities, time and values can shift. A focus on work-life integration becomes vital.
Parents At Work provides employees with the opportunity to confidentially discuss their work and family plans, wellbeing needs and career path with a qualified executive career and family coaching expert.
Parents At Work coaches are all mental health first aid trained. Our goal is to help employees align their career and family goals so they feel engaged and motivated to thrive at work and at home.
Coaching covers three key areas:
Career | Wellbeing | Family
