Over 1/3 of workers are parents, yet today's working world is poorly setup to support their career and family life.​

Societal and generational shifts, and competitive pressure are prompting organisations to (re)consider their approach to attract and retain working parents. ​

There is no shortage of media coverage on the challenges facing parents but little data to inform how organisations should manage this talent and unlock the ROI of parental policies. ​

The WOMBA x Hult research addresses this gap with a comprehensive, inclusive, multi perspective study.

Hult International Business School

Our team at WOMBA is partnering with Hult International Business School on a groundbreaking research project exploring the experiences of how working parents experience the transition to parenthood in the workplace. 

In phase one of the project, we heard from working parents about challenges they faced in both their professional and personal lives. From unclear parental leave policies for dads to rigid maternity policies for mums, we uncovered the barriers working parents face. Check out our key findings published in Huff Post.
