Your current leave benefits aren’t driving the impact you deserve.

Parental leave affects your entire organization—not just working parents.

For too long, we’ve witnessed how a poor parental leave experience can harm your company, from team-wide burnout to parents quitting soon after they return from leave.

Turns out, these points of friction bring big problems to leaders looking to retain their best people, attract new hires, and cultivate a culture of compassion.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Instead of plugging the hole with templates, coaches, and guides  to fill the gaps, your team could embrace a first-of-its-kind approach to solve the problem once and for all.

With Leona.

The parental leave system is broken.

Here’s what we’re doing to fix it.

Leona helps you support your people in a meaningful way that impacts beyond a baby’s due date. As a service-based employee benefit, we integrate as a member of your team to establish and execute custom plans guided by our three-phase approach.

We fully embed with your team and lead comprehensive planning.

Preparing for leave in Phase 1, we craft custom plans for the expecting parent and surrounding team, while also training to backfill the role during the leave period.

We backfill the role and get to work.

By providing coverage in Phase 2, we ensure that ongoing work progresses smoothly, delivering confidence and assurance to both the new parent and their team.

We reintegrate the parent and guide transitional team support.

In Phase 3, all team members access the workplace support and flexibility that they deserve as the new parent transitions back to work.

The leave period concludes with an empowered new parent, a confident team, and the ongoing commitment that Leona will be there for your future parental leave needs.

  • "You were adaptable and very effective while I was on leave. Your understanding of the experience of working moms allowed you to jump right in. You wanted to absorb and learn everything right away. I never felt nervous about leaving things with you."

    - BRIDGET, MARKETING DIRECTOR (PARENT ON LEAVE)

  • “You came in and covered maternity leave seamlessly. You gained a lot of trust very quickly, and that usually takes a lot of time within a team. You asked the right questions and really gave a shit about what you were doing.”

    - ED, CHIEF REVENUE OFFICER (VENDOR PARTNER DURING LEAVE)

  • "You are as dependable as they come. You seamlessly stepped in and afforded me (and my clients) four months of continuity, responsiveness, and peace of mind. It was such a gift."

    - COLLEEN, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER (PARENT ON LEAVE)

  • "You couldn't have been more thorough. I loved working with you. I had everything I needed. It was just so smooth and I loved working with you."

    - NICOLE, CUSTOMER OPERATIONS (TEAM MEMBER DURING LEAVE)

  • "Your joining our team was the glue that held things together. You were a really good communicator and always came prepared with all the information. No matter what happened, you were ready to bring it on and tackle hard stuff with a smile. I’m so glad we had you with our team during this time.”
