Did you know that approximately 41% of Women will leave the workforce within 3 months of having a baby?
There are many factors that contribute to this including women feeling unsupported by their employer or overwhelmed with the demands of juggling parenthood and a career.
Pregnancy comes with the demands of appointments, travel for these appointments and preparation for maternity leave. Due to this, getting to traditional evening or weekend prenatal classes can be very challenging in the corporate setting. As a result, many women and/or their birth support partner opt to not undertake any prenatal education.
Why does this impact your organisation?
Increased rates of maternal and perinatal depression and anxiety
Increased sick leave
A recent PANDA report found lost productivity due to prenatal depression costs Australian businesses more than $310M. Parental leave can be a time of employee disengagement and loss of key staff. Known cost 12-18 months of salary per departure.
