Let's start with the basics.
Without structured return-to-work support, up to half of new mothers leave their jobs the year they have a child. With the right program in place, that number drops by 70%. When Google extended maternity leave by six weeks, new-mother attrition fell by 50% and their HR leadership confirmed the program paid for itself.
Most programs approach the return-to-work gap as an HR problem. The Return was built by a certified pediatric sleep consultant, postpartum doula, and early parenting coach who has spent years in the room with the parents those programs are built to serve. We don't theorize about what new parents need to come back strong. We already know.

What does the return-to-work experience look like right now?
The return-to-work window is one of the highest-leverage moments in your talent cycle and one of the least supported. These questions help us pinpoint exactly where performance gaps are forming and what's recoverable. Most organizations are leaving significant productivity and retention on the table here without realizing it. That's precisely what The Return is designed to recover.
