what parents say
Turning parental leave into an opportunity
“A company that provides their employees access to Parentaly resources in any form is showing empathy and support for working parents, and no doubt helping instill loyalty and commitment. And especially for first time parents - the resources Parentaly provides helps alleviate some of that excited anticipation of planning for a new family addition.”
Laura C., Digital Marketing Manager
The Hershey Company
"My experience with Parentaly has been fantastic. It made me feel supported on a personal and professional level. Discussions with my Parentaly coach allowed me to proactively work through my pre-leave plan and voice my feelings about becoming a new parent. Frameworks in the Parentaly toolkit also made it easy to organize my thoughts and learn best practices when preparing for parental leave."
Trevor Smith, Director
PwC Canada
"My coach Kelly is incredibly personable. She is super knowledgeable about parental leave, what to look out for and what to prioritize. I feel much more confident and comfortable about my time away after our sessions. Would 100% recommend her/Parentaly to my colleagues!"
Austin Eason, Client Sales Lead
Brex
"The Parentaly program gave me a space to discuss the big life and career change ahead with someone who is both knowledgeable and supportive. I am leaving this program feeling 100% more confident and prepared. Thanks for a great experience!"
Meredith Polm, Training Developer
ASML
"It was so helpful to have a guide to develop a vision of the role I wanted to return to. Tactically, the templates were incredibly detailed and I got so much positive feedback from my team on how thorough everything was, and how they felt clear on every dimension of my leave planning. They all thanked me for what I had prepared, and I in turn have to thank Parentaly for all of it."
Monique M., Senior Director
Capital One
"Preparing to become a parent while juggling the responsibilities of a high impact role would have left very little time to consider how to effectively prepare my teams for my absence and to imagine how I will need to operate differently when I return. Parentaly coaches were an amazing resource to build a plan that specifically addressed the areas that concerned and impacted myself, my family, and my organization."
Anonymous, Principal Product Manager
$12B scaling startup
"I feel much more confident about going out on leave, but most importantly, I feel more confident about coming BACK from leave. In fact, I'm excited to come back knowing that I've outlined a framework for success in my role. I'm so grateful to my company for investing in a program that contributes to my peace of mind."
Alex Diskin, Senior Account Executive
Handshake
"This program was extremely useful to have a coach help guide and talk me through the process of going on leave. This is the first time I've taken a leave longer than 2 weeks in my career, so there was a lot of nuance that I hadn't thought of until I started working with my Parentaly coach. Through our conversations and the materials provided, I feel like I'm very well positioned for a successful leave and return."
Andrew M., Head of Vendor Risk
Fast-growing FinTech company
"Having a coach helped me understand how I could impact my career trajectory for the better and how to ensure my company is successful in doing so. This program helped me prepare for my leave without the added stress of balancing my work, and home life alone."
Anonymous, Engineering Lead
Global tech manufacturing company
"Katie was wonderful and provided such a kind, supportive space to explore options as well as deliver key guidance as I developed my leave plan. I not only feel supported but confident in my leave ,which creates a peace of mind to focus on this journey to parenthood."
