Our Solutions

Everything your organization needs to get parental leave right.

From our scalable coaching and training platform to strategic consulting, every solution we offer is built on the only evidence-based parental leave methodology in the world, developed by the Center for Parental Leave Leadership.

The full-system difference:

Most parental leave consulting and coaching solutions address individuals. CPLL addresses the full system together—parents, managers, teams, and organizational culture. Data shows that when only one part of the system is supported, the results fall short and others absorb the cost. Whether you’re looking for a scalable benefit for every employee, a strategic partner to redesign your leave practice, or the tools to build internal solutions, everything we offer is built on the same evidence-based foundation with the full system in mind. Because fixing one part while ignoring the others isn’t a solution, it’s a band-aid.

Solution 1

RETAIN Coaching™

Who it’s for: Organizations that want a scalable, evidence-based solution that supports every employee touched by parental leave: parents, managers, teams, and HR.

RETAIN Coaching™ is the only evidence-based parental leave coaching methodology in the world. Developed by Dr. Amy Beacom, this approach is the foundation of everything CPLL offers. Organizations can bring it to their workforce through the RETAIN Coaching Hub™, a comprehensive digital platform that offers structured learning, peer community, expert resources, and access to coaching for parents, managers, and HR professionals. For organizations or individuals who want a higher-touch experience, 1:1 coaching with a certified RETAIN Parental Leave Coach is available to employees at all levels, including executives. Whether self-paced or high-touch, your employees will benefit from the same proven methodology, delivered in the right way for your needs.

Solution 2

Assessments & Insights

Who it’s for: Organizations that want to objectively measure how their parental leave program is really performing to know with confidence what’s working and what’s next.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. Most leaders know what their parental leave policy says; far fewer know how it’s actually landing with parents, managers, and teams. Our organization-level and aggregated employee assessments measure what’s really happening, showing where your program is driving retention and engagement, and where it may be quietly costing you talent. For a deeper look, our Policy & Practice Audit evaluates your policy, processes, and manager practices against CPLL’s evidence-based framework. You’ll come away with clear, prioritized findings and metrics to track progress over time.

Strategic Consulting & Partnership

Who it’s for: Organizations that want parental leave to work as well in practice as it does on paper, whether through targeted improvements or full-system transformation.

Whether you are designing a new program or optimizing an existing one, we bring the expertise to guide you, from parental leave policy and program design to custom research projects and strategic advisory. By partnering directly with your HR leaders, people teams, and executives, we’ll help you build a parental leave culture that creates lasting change your employees can feel. We don’t hand you a solution and walk away. We work alongside your team to get it right.

Solution 4

Certification & Training

Who it’s for: Organizations that are ready to bring parental leave expertise in-house through manager training, in-house coaching, or custom programming.

The best parental leave programs are built from the inside out. CPLL’s certification program and training offerings equip organizations with the tools to develop their internal expertise. Train people managers through the Leave Leader™ Manager Training Series. Certify an in-house RETAIN Coach through the RETAIN Coaching Institute™. Or partner with us to build something custom for your specific needs. Whatever the path, the goal is the same: parental leave expertise that lives inside your organization, not borrowed from ours. For external coaches looking for certification, we have that for you too.

The fastest path to the right solution is a conversation.
