We’re live! Join the waitlist and be part of building better support for working parents.

Our mission

Parental leave without the disruption. Continuity that protects careers, managers, and retention.

Why we exist

Parental leave is broken.

Not because policies are poor — they're often generous and well-intentioned.

It's broken because delivery is improvised. Every manager runs leave differently.

And outcomes depend on luck, confidence, and capacity — not process.

The result?

Avoidable attrition. Stalled reintegration. Lost momentum.

£150k–£350k exits that should never happen.

What we believe

Parental leave isn't an HR task.

It's a business continuity discipline — and a leadership moment that shapes careers.

When transitions are standardised, outcomes become predictable.

Predictability protects performance, retention, and enterprise value.

Parent Card exists to make that predictability the norm.

Our role

We're the experience layer that operationalises parental leave.

Above policy

Setting direction for how leave is experienced.

Alongside HR systems

Complementing, not replacing, your existing infrastructure.

Deliverable by every manager

Consistency without asking for extra capability.

Beneficial to every returner

Clear, structured journeys that build confidence.

Defensible to every CFO

No integration required to start. Just clarity, consistency, and commercial protection — on day one.

How Parent Card works

Powered by the Continuity Operating System™ — a managed framework that delivers consistent journeys without extra admin.

1

01 — Outcomes Layer

Commercial goals that guide delivery: continuity protection, reduced attrition, pipeline visibility.

2

02 — Operating System

Standardised workflows, accountability, and measurable touchpoints.

3

03 — Enablement Layer

Capability uplift for managers, returners, HR, and leaders — confidence at every stage.

The result: predictable retention, protected performance, and accelerated reintegration.

Who We Support

Managers

Deliver consistency without adding workload.

Employees

Return faster, with clarity and momentum.

HR

Reduce invisible labour and risk with predictable processes.

Business

Protect continuity and pipeline tied to high-value talent.

What It Unlocks

01

Less Performance Lag

Protects 12–18 weeks of productivity per return by accelerating reintegration.

02

Faster Return-to-Momentum

Standardised progression timelines that restore full capacity faster and minimise handover drag.

03

Higher Leadership Continuity

Reduces succession friction and pipeline volatility tied to inconsistent transitions.

04

Measurable Visibility

Evidence-based reporting to justify investment to finance & leadership.

Why it matters now

Talent is fluid.

High-potential returners are competitive assets — and every unmanaged transition is an exit risk.

When one regretted return costs £150k–£350k, consistency becomes strategy — not sentiment.

Companies protecting continuity, maintaining momentum, and reducing attrition don't just keep talent.

They compound enterprise value.

Parent Card is how you operationalise that protection at scale.

Our promise

To transform parental leave from a point of risk

into a repeatable moment of retention, continuity, and leadership.

Protect continuity. Retain returners. Lead with confidence.
