Supporting working parents has become a strategic advantage when it comes to employee welfare. Phoebe, a premier family support solution for employers, is leading the charge with its comprehensive perinatal health and work-life coaching programs designed to empower working parents and create a lasting positive impact on families and workplaces alike. With its proprietary engagement model designed by the top Reproductive Psychiatrists in the U.S. and concierge-level family support, Phoebe is not just addressing the challenges of parenthood but transforming them into opportunities for better maternal health outcomes, female workforce retention and success.
At our recent webinar, we heard directly from Margaret Raiche, SVP of Growth Strategy and Wellbeing Advisory at Phoebe, about how much that support is needed. She shared her experience and those of Phoebe members, facing new parent challenges from maternal health complications to leave support trying to succeed in both fields as a mother and as a career woman.
The Origins of Phoebe
Founded in 2019 by business leaders and nationally recognized experts of reproductive mental health, Phoebe is a women-owned, diverse-certified organization that combines career success with exceptional perinatal health support and parental care. Backed by a team of distinguished experts – ranging from Harvard-trained behavioral economists and psychiatrists to a team of interdisciplinary postpartum and return-to-work experts – Phoebe brings evidence-based solutions and compassionate care to working parents at every stage of their journey.
Phoebe‘s unique offerings address the profound and disproportionate impact parenthood transitions have on women. The statistics speak for themselves:
- 40% of new mothers miss their postpartum checkup.
- 1 in 4 mothers experience postpartum depression.
- 85% of women leave full-time employment within three years of giving birth, despite 98% wanting to continue working.
Phoebe bridges these gaps by offering concierge-level family support that not only improves maternal health outcomes but also enhances workforce retention.
Employers partnering with Phoebe can expect a remarkable 95% employee retention rate beyond year three, an 85 Net Promoter Score (NPS), and a 2:1 return on investment.
