"Before my parental leave, I was deeply anxious about how my leave would impact my career and my team and after my return, I struggled to reintegrate after a period of rapid change. At Parentaly, I have the privilege of solving a problem that I personally understand and that’s widely experienced – helping people and organizations see parental leave as an opportunity."
Transforming the false tradeoff between career and parenthood into a win-win
Parental leave is broken. We’re here to fix it.
When I first announced that I was expecting, my excitement about starting a family soon turned into surprise, stress, and fear. I was worried that going on leave would slow down my progress at work. I wasn’t sure how to prepare my team for my absence. And my manager had no clue how to support me.
After my leave, I returned to a disaster. My direct reports were miserable and one of them decided to quit.
A lot had changed since I’d been gone, and I struggled to catch up. My team was also restructured under a new manager. I juggled between sorting through the chaos at work and finding time to pump in between.
Although many were increasing the length of parental leave policy, they were all missing a support system to help careers – and business – stay on track through this transition. Hearing how common it is for parental leave to go wrong and knowing it could be so much better motivated me to start Parentaly.
In fact, when it’s approached the right way, parental leave can be an opportunity for careers and businesses to accelerate.
To build the best parental leave experience for everyone: employees, their managers, their teams, and their organizations.
