The biggest talent drop-off point is being overlooked.

The transition into working parenthood is one of the most critical — and vulnerable — moments in a career.

Yet many organisations rely on surface-level policies and assumptions, without truly understanding the lived experience of their people.

The result? Lost talent, disengagement, and missed potential.

WOMBA offers a more human, more effective way to support working parents

Our Approach

At WOMBA, we combine research, coaching, and organisational insight to help you support working parents in ways that actually work.

We don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions — we help you understand your organisation deeply, and take action where it matters most.

Together, we outline a path forward that’s realistic, strategic, and tailored to your specific needs.

Plan with Purpose

Built on four years of research with working parents and organisations, the Thrive Diagnostic gives you a clear, evidence-based understanding of how well your organisation supports working parents — and where to focus next.

We go beyond surface-level surveys to uncover real experiences, hidden friction points, and opportunities for meaningful change.

The Thrive Diagnostic™

  • A clear view of your current strengths and gaps

  • Insight into the real experiences of working parents in your organisation

  • Benchmarking against best practice

  • A prioritised, actionable roadmap for improvement

  • "After returning from maternity leave to a new leadership role and during a pandemic – there was a lot I was hoping to get out of my coaching sessions. WOMBA’s coaching helped me work through the situation around my return, development areas and specific issues as they arose. The impact – I’ve been able to tackle challenges with a new perspective and confidence fuelled by my coach’s ability to get me to leverage and build on my own strengths."
