Most working parents are closer to burnout than they let on.
And they need support.
The reality for working parents
Nearly three-quarters of UK families now have both parents working. Yet most organisations provide little or no support for what happens when employees leave the office.
The result is a hidden toll. Parents arriving at work having barely slept, carrying the weight of a difficult morning, managing guilt about time away from their children, or dreading the evening ahead. They are committed to their jobs and committed to their families - and stretching to meet both.
The business case supporting parents is straightforward
-
Productivity: Parents who feel supported bring their full attention to work. Less mental load at home means more energy and focus at their desk.
-
Retention: Offering parenting support demonstrates genuine care for your employees' wellbeing, fostering loyalty and reducing turnover rates.
-
Reduced Wellbeing Costs.: Stressed parents are more likely to take mental health-related sick days. Parenting support makes all the difference.
About Camilla
As the founder of My Parenting Solutions, and a mum of 4 kids, Camilla knows what it means to be ambitious, hardworking, and a parent. And how stretched that combination can leave even the most capable people.
Before dedicating her career to parenting support, Camilla spent years as a training and development professional working with McKinsey, Goldman Sachs and PwC.
She then spent over 20 years building a reputation as one of the UK's most respected parenting coaches, working with parents from CitiBank, Blackstone, Clifford Chance, Accenture and Credit Suisse among others.
A twice-featured guest on BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour, her clients consistently describe working with her as life-changing.
"Parents need support, not judgment. When employers recognize the challenges of balancing work and family life and offer meaningful support, everyone benefits."
Sheryl Sandberg
Camilla is quite simply phenomenal at what she does.
We worked on getting my kids into good routines, always feeling happy and secure in themselves.
The difference was immediate. As a full-time working mum she has helped me to find a balance and to parent my kids in a way that makes them all feel special.
Laura Coady, Senior Managing Director, Blackstone
