Simple Strategies
The It’s Working Project partners with private-sector workplaces as they explore and establish easy-to-execute programs to support working families. Working in partnership with private sector clients, the It’s Working Project designs on- and off-ramp strategies (also called “fifth trimester strategies”) that increase successful return and retention outcomes.
Our low-cost, high-impact strategies are designed to course-correct existing concerns and proactively cover the full spectrum of the relationship between, and needs of, employer and parental employee. Our format is a long-overdue nexus between HR and communications – creating ultimate impact and assuring immediate progress. Using our proprietary methodology, we make sense of everything from the complex issues of leave to return resources, calibration, communication and beyond.
