Talent On Leave

Lynn White

In this episode, we tackle a critical but often overlooked aspect of talent management—how businesses can better support employees through maternity and parental leave. Our guest, Lynn White, is the founder of Talent on Leave, an organization dedicated to helping companies rethink how they approach leave policies, employee engagement, and return-to-work strategies.

Lynn shares her personal journey from a fast-paced marketing career into coaching and consulting, highlighting the challenges employees face during maternity and parental leave—from confidence dips to the difficulty of reintegration into the workplace. She discusses why companies often miss opportunities to support their employees during this transition and how a fresh approach can lead to better retention, engagement, and leadership development.

This conversation is packed with practical advice for HR leaders, managers, and employees, focusing on how to shift the narrative around leave from being a business challenge to an opportunity for growth. We explore the role of company culture, communication, and leadership in making the leave experience more positive and productive—not just for the individual but for the whole organization.

If you’re an employer, HR professional, or someone navigating parental leave yourself, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for insights that could reshape how your business approaches leave and talent development.
