Maternity | Return to Work Experience

Platform55's First Ever In-Person Maternity | Return to Work Experience

We’re excited to announce Platform55’s first ever in-person Return to Work Experience. designed specifically for women returning from maternity leave. We've supported hundreds of women in their return to work in our virtual workshops, and are delighted to bring this event to you live and in person.

This is a unique opportunity to gather with others from different industries who are about to return or have recently returned within the last 12 months. Together, we’ll support each other as we navigate the transition back to work with confidence, balance, and resilience.

This workshop provides the tools and insights you need to thrive in your career while balancing the demands of family life. Whether you’re preparing for your return or have already made the leap, this workshop offers timely, practical support.

What We’ll Cover:

• Understanding your values and setting boundaries
• Managing guilt and building resilience
• Navigating crucial conversations
• Shaping your Career Path

Attendees will leave with a comprehensive workbook packed with insights, reflective exercises, practical strategies, and advice from other women - a resource designed to help them continue their learning and growth long after the workshop ends.

Refreshments and lunch will be provided, giving everyone the chance to connect, network, and build a sense of community with other women at a similar stage in their journey.
