<br/><br/> Fostering a smooth transition back to work after a period of maternity leave can be tricky, but individuals and organizations can work together to ease the process. This book makes the case for dedicated maternity mentoring programmes in the workplace as a way of supporting new parents and ensuring talent retention for their employers.       Written by a duo of coaching and mentoring professionals, Coaching, Mentoring and Maternity Leave provides practical guidance on how a business can set up an effective internal mentoring programme to address this key issue. The authors look at each stage of the mentoring journey, opening with the question of 'why mentor maternity?', through to building the business case and providing ideas for mentoring workshops. Coaching, Mentoring and Maternity Leave is grounded in theory and practice, and provides tools, techniques and real life case studies from a range of countries to illustrate best practice.      This book will be invaluable to all HR practitioners and line managers who want to retain and support new parents and help to pave the way for gender diversity at all levels of their organizations. It will also be of interest to students and researchers of HRM, diversity and coaching and mentoring.
