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.

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.
