Building the business case for Parental Leave: Weighing costs and return

  • 58:04
  • November 1st 2025

​In this session, we'll be joined by Allison Whalen, Founder & CEO of Parentaly, a company aimed at supporting both parents AND companies through executing successful parental leaves.

​She'll be sharing with us tactical resources to build the business case for offering a competitive leave, how to quantify (and mitigate) costs while quantifying (and increasing) impact.

​This session is aimed at creating a space to discuss and strategize over the proverbial "elephant in the room": we want to provide generous parental leaves but as small or growing organizations, the risks and costs of losing key team members for extended periods can sometimes feel too high stakes to pull that trigger.
