The Parent-Inclusive Workplaces Summit is a full-day event designed to bring together corporate leaders, HR professionals, and members of the parenthood community to address the key challenges and opportunities in creating supportive and parent-friendly workplaces. The summit will focus on the latest trends, strategies, and best practices for empowering working parents, ensuring that companies can grow while supporting the well-being of employees who juggle both career and family responsibilities.

Impact

Strategic Insights for Policy Innovation
Participating corporates gain valuable access to the latest trends, research findings, and real-world case studies, helping them refine existing workplace policies or design new, inclusive frameworks. These insights are specifically geared toward addressing the evolving needs of working parents, ensuring policies are not only progressive but also practical and impactful.

Boosted Talent Attraction and Retention
By embracing parent-inclusive practices highlighted during the summit, companies strengthen their appeal to top talent—particularly individuals seeking supportive environments that respect both career and family life. This, in turn, improves employee retention, especially among working parents who often face difficult trade-offs in less supportive workplaces.

DEIB Advancement
The summit equips organizations with actionable tools and strategies to seamlessly integrate parenthood inclusion into their broader Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) goals. This alignment strengthens company culture and fosters a workplace where all employees, regardless of parental status, feel valued and supported.

Improved Employee Engagement and Productivity
Understanding how to support working parents more effectively results in a more engaged and motivated workforce. Employees who feel seen and supported are more likely to perform better, remain loyal to their employers, and contribute positively to the organization’s overall success.

Peer Learning and Collaboration
One of the summit’s key strengths lies in fostering meaningful connections among like-minded organizations. Through interactive sessions and open dialogue, companies are able to share challenges, exchange best practices, and co-create innovative solutions for a more parent-inclusive workplace ecosystem.

Measurable Social Impact
By participating in the summit, corporates actively contribute to a broader social mission—reducing parental dropouts from the workforce, enhancing gender equity, and promoting inclusive economic growth. These efforts align with global sustainability priorities and reflect a genuine commitment to long-term, meaningful change.
