Emma is a specialist in working with organisations to help them better re-engage women returners, through maternity coaching, flexible working workshops and return-to-work consultancy. 

 

Women returners are an experienced, ambitious group of professionals who face multiple barriers returning to career roles. Businesses are missing out on this experienced talent pool.

 

As a women returner herself - Emma took a maternity break after working at director level - she knows all too well the challenges working mums face in blending a career with parenthood.

​

Since returning to work Emma now specialises in helping organisations re-engage, retain and develop their women returners, to:

​

• Build and sustain a female talent pipeline, enabling more women to reach senior levels

• Broaden the age and gender diversity of organisations, giving them a commercial advantage

• Generate PR opportunities

• Gain the productivity benefits that come from supporting parents effectively in the workplace

• Reduce the gender pay gap

• Save money, due to lower recruitment costs and increased engagement

• Address skills gaps.

​

Before taking her maternity career break, Emma was Client Services Director at Graduate Recruitment Solutions, a division of GTI which provides end-to-end bespoke recruitment process outsourcing solutions for graduate employers.

 

Following her break Emma gained a Certificate in Coaching with the University of Cambridge and now works as a consultant and executive coach, specialising in supporting women with their career development through their maternity transitions.

​

This combination of personal and professional expertise in successfully climbing the corporate ladder and being a parent, gives her an insightful and valuable perspective on both the needs of women returners and the organisations they work for.
