Laura reflects on the value of executive coaching at the point she returned to ITV from maternity leave. “There was a lot to get my head around and I felt simply by offered coaching there was an acknowledgement by the business that it’s challenging to come back.” Laura’s line manager, and her relationship with him, benefitted too – a key part of our Comeback Community employee experience programme is upskilling the returning team member’s manager with 1:1 conversation, a line manager guide, timely e-mails and content on our designated platform.
