Your employees need to feel supported and respected.  Research shows that a strong psychological contract between employees and their employer means employees perform better and feel more committed.

Yet a recent study found that only 31% of employees strongly agree that their employers care about them as a person.

One in three employees left their job because they did not feel cared for, and one in five left because they did not feel someone supported their well-being.

A significant proportion of qualified employees choose to opt out of work for much longer than they had planned, to the disadvantage of the employer. As perinatal practitioners working closely with new families for 20 years, we have seen this happen over and over again.

The cost of replacing an employee who decides to leave the company as their parental leave comes to an end is estimated as an average of 20% of salary for mid-range positions, and up to 213% of salary for top executives.
