The Core cHallenge
Most organizations have a parental leave policy. Far fewer have a parental leave process — and that gap creates hidden risk across three areas: knowledge, productivity, and retention.

MJ Yost, the Founder & CEO of Resilient Returns, is a therapist working with parents and a founder who has worked inside HR teams.

Resilient Returns is the process she wished every parent, and every company, had in place.
