Parental leave support that strengthens leadership pipeline and empowers employees

Why Heidrick & Struggles partnered with Parentaly to deliver a more seamless and impactful parental leave support solution


Chief Inclusion & Belonging Officer Cecilia Nelson-Hurt and I&B Leader Dominique Dickson launched a parental leave task force to identify how to better support employees and business continuity at the firm.


Their findings pointed to three critical areas of support: coverage planning for expecting parents, manager enablement for people leaders, and resources to drive efficiency and productivity across the firm.
