Bring Me to Your Workplace
Did you know?
51% of employees leave within 12 months of a close loss.
40% of employees leave within 18 months of a child being born.
73%+ of your workforce is either a parent or a caregiver.
Leaves of Absence are increasing 20%+ YoY for the past 4 years and it's only increasing with the top leaves requested being mental health, bereavement and parental leave.
👆 psst! That's the majority of your workforce btw!
If you don't think leave, loss and life transitions are impacting your employee retention, burnout and engagement - think again.
When employees return from leave, they’re not just coming back to work. They’re coming back different. But work stays the same.
No space to reimagine their role or responsibilities.
No communication to reconnect them within the culture.
No plan for reintegration and re-onboarding.
Just an expectation to plug back in like nothing changed. But everything did, for them.
And when work doesn’t evolve with them and their needs, helping them re-find meaning, value and purpose in their day-to-day?
They disengage. They leave.

Keynote: Turning Leave Into Loyalty
Want to reduce turnover, rebuild trust, and prevent burnout without adding more to your plate? It starts with how you support employees through leave and the often-overlooked phase that comes next: reintegration.
Most companies lose people in the quiet moments after the big life event—when someone returns from parental leave, bereavement, or medical leave unsure how or if they still fit. But with the right training, HR and people leaders can turn these moments into powerful opportunities for retention, engagement, and growth.
In this keynote, you’ll uncover the hidden power of thoughtful reintegration. You’ll learn the key moments where managers make or break employee loyalty and walk away with simple, actionable strategies to support employees through leave and their return—without burning out yourself.
Key learning objectives:
Understand when and why reintegration is a critical driver of retention and engagement.
Identify the top reintegration pitfalls and how to avoid them as an HR or people leader.
Learn practical strategies to support employees through leave and return with clarity, care, and sustainability.
