Leading parental and transition coach tackles the well-documented struggles of returning to work after parental leave – from managing guilt and overwhelm to addressing career stagnation. De Gruyter's editor Matthew Smith said, "Unlike many books, also equips managers with clear, practical guidance and actionable checklists to effectively support returning parents."

 

Author Kirstie Sneyd says, "Despite legislative progress and evolving workplace policies, support for parental returners remains inconsistent. Many managers lack the time, skills or experience to guide employees effectively, while returners themselves may not know how to advocate for their needs. From single parents and adopters to those dealing with child bereavement, every situation is unique. This book offers tailored guidance to help all stakeholders navigate this pivotal transition successfully."

Kirstie Sneyd is an organisational psychologist and executive coach with more than 25 years of expertise in behaviour change. She specialises in culture transformation, parental coaching, organisational design, employee engagement and wellbeing. An ICF-accredited coach and MBTI practitioner, her insights are grounded in research from Birkbeck, University of London and extensive coaching experience with parental returners and their managers.
