Talent Attraction and Retention

Many parents and carers opt out of opportunities, assuming it’s impossible or that asking for flexibility could hurt their future. We help create inclusive recruitment campaigns and supportive environments so you can reach a wider talent pool and parents and carers can thrive.  

2

Inclusion and diversity

Parents and carers span every protected characteristic and socio-economic status, making them a uniquely intersectional group. The barriers they face overlap and interact in complex ways, creating distinct forms of exclusion often overlooked by one-size-fits-all approaches.

3

Gender Equality

Gender equality is about equality for men, women and all genders, birthing and non-birthing parents, at home and at work. Supporting parents and carers in the arts helps to create an environment where all are equally encouraged to pursue creative careers, without traditional gender biases. 

4

Better wellbeing for everyone

By helping organisations identify and implement innovative working methods, promote inclusive practices, and adapt to the needs of both the organisation and individuals, we can enhance overall workforce wellbeing, benefitting not only parents and caregivers.

5

Finding the flex

In an industry where 70% of the workforce is freelance and roles are often tied to unpredictable schedules, flexibility can seem out of reach. We’ve proven that it’s not only possible—it’s transformative, and we can show you how.

You'll get all of this...

  • Guidance (we’ll give you guidance on how to develop and implement good practice) 
  • Training (we’ll provide support programmes and training) 
  • Networks (we’ll connect you to your peers to exchange good practice)
