let's be honest
Traditional maternity leave cover comes with its own set of challenges for both employers and employees.
As a business owner or leader, finding the right temp can feel like a gamble. Most of the time, they don’t have the exact skills you need, and you end up scrambling to fill gaps while managing a team that’s already stretched thin. It’s exhausting trying to keep the business running smoothly without burning out your existing team.
And for the employee on leave, maternity leave should be a time to focus on family, but there’s always that worry in the back of your mind. Will you be replaced? Will you be able to step back into your role when you're ready? The pressure of returning after months away can be overwhelming, and it’s hard to balance family and career in the traditional model.
Wouldn't it be great if everyone could have their cake and eat it too?

The hidden cost of losing key talent
Let’s be real—when a valued team member goes on maternity leave, it can feel like a major disruption. You want to support them, but the pressure to keep the business running smoothly falls squarely on your shoulders. Finding a temp with the right skills is a gamble, overloading existing staff isn’t sustainable, and putting projects on hold isn’t an option.
You shouldn’t have to choose between business growth and doing the right thing for your people.

The guilt of pressing pause
Maternity leave should be a time to embrace the joy (and chaos) of motherhood and raising a family—but for many, it comes with stress. You worry about how your team is coping without you, if your role will still be there, and how hard it will be to return.
You shouldn’t have to choose between your career and your family—you deserve to step away without anxiety and return with confidence.
