Managers: This one's for you! ?? The first few weeks back from parental leave often determine whether valuable team members stay or eventually leave your organization. And the numbers don't lie: according to the National Bureau of Economic Research, 24% of women leave the workforce in the first year of motherhood. As a manager, your actions during this critical transition period can make all the difference in helping your direct reports have a positive experience. Here are six ways you can set returning parents up for success: 1?? Suggest a check-in call two weeks before their first day back. Share key updates and discuss scheduling needs, giving them time to mentally prepare for their return. 2?? Remind your report about any resources that are available to them, including lactation room support if they're pumping. 3?? Check your report's workplace setup to ensure their desk is prepared and technology is functioning properly. 4?? Schedule a welcome-back meeting on their first day to reconnect, address questions, and outline expectations for their first few weeks. 5?? Set the tone with your team by reminding colleagues to welcome the returning parent and respect their calendar boundaries. 6?? Check in regularly during the first few months to ensure their transition is going smoothly and address challenges early. What approaches have you found most effective when supporting team members returning from parental leave? #parentalleave #returntowork #managertraining

Ten years ago, when our founder & CEO Kate Ryder pitched investors on the idea of a virtual clinic for women and families, she heard things like… "Don't women already have doctors?" "I'll have to ask my wife about that." "This seems like a pretty small market." Her response? Women are half our population, and they deserve better. Today, that is the headline of her profile in Inc. Magazine. Thank you to Inc. for recognizing Kate on the annual Female Founders 500 list, and for highlighting our journey from a "niche" idea to a global platform that connects more than 17 million people to the care they deserve, when they need it most. A decade after Kate built Maven, we hold her founding vision to be true: when we reimagine healthcare for women and families, we reimagine it for everyone.

"I wouldn't bet against the average consumer when they get the right information in their hands." —Kate Ryder, Maven Founder & CEO Earlier this week on the global stage at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, our Founder & CEO Kate Ryder spoke with David Rowan, Founding Editor-in-Chief at WIRED UK, about how Maven is leveraging technology to democratize access to healthcare, build trust, and empower patients to take control of their health journeys. A few key insights: ?? Trusted health information has never mattered more: In an era where more than 30% of Gen Z gets health information exclusively from TikTok—and 3 in 4 fertility videos come from non-medical sources—reliable information is essential. Technology can counter widespread misinformation by connecting patients directly with verified, evidence-based health resources. ?? The consumer healthcare revolution is (finally) here: After a decade of incremental progress, we're witnessing a dramatic acceleration in patient-centered innovation. Digital health solutions are finally becoming as intuitive and personalized as the consumer apps we use every day, delivering healthcare experiences that are designed with the patient in mind. ?? Human-centered AI is transforming care delivery: Strategic application of technology where it excels—automating complex processes and personalizing experiences—allows healthcare providers to focus on what they do best: delivering empathetic, high-quality care. This balanced approach means technology enhances rather than replaces the human connection that's essential to healthcare. ?? Technology can be an advocate for those who need it most: In regions with limited or restricted healthcare access, digital tools offer navigation through complex health systems and provide critical information exactly when patients need it most—putting expertise and support directly in their hands. The promise of healthcare innovation lies in reimagining who holds power in the healthcare journey. Technology can fundamentally transform how patients experience healthcare—and by centering women and families in this transformation, we're setting a new standard for what healthcare can and should look like for everyone. #MWC25 #ai #digitalhealth

What if surviving cancer meant losing your chance to become a parent? For thousands of young cancer patients, fertility becomes an urgent, unexpected priority. A diagnosis suddenly transforms a distant dream of parenthood into an immediate, critical decision—often with a narrow window to preserve eggs before treatment begins. Although cancer rates in young women are rising, the healthcare system has remained woefully unprepared. In fact, less than half of young women with breast cancer receive counseling about preserving their fertility. Yet out of this challenging landscape emerged a remarkable story of resilience: cancer survivors became the architects of change, transforming fertility preservation from an experimental afterthought to a critical component of comprehensive care. Advocates like Lindsay Beck fundamentally reshaped medical guidelines, coining the term "oncofertility" and persuading the National Cancer Institute to create an Office of Survivorship. And organizations like The Chick Mission have taken this advocacy further, pushing 18 states to mandate insurance coverage for oncofertility treatments. In many ways, the advocacy of cancer survivors provides a blueprint for how we can extend fertility coverage to people everywhere. At Maven, we're committed to a vision of healthcare that sees patients as whole people—with dreams, futures, and the right to choose their path to parenthood.

According to our new State of Women’s and Family Health Benefits report, 85% of employers saying that reproductive and family benefits are important for retaining employees (a 13% increase from last year). Providing family-building support isn’t just the right thing to do—it's good business. If you're looking to design a fertility benefits program that truly supports your employees, here are some best practices to keep in mind: ? DON'T: Make assumptions about the fertility challenges your employees are facing ? DO: Survey employees anonymously to understand their diverse needs ? DON'T: Launch without a plan to measure long-term business impact ? DO: Assess ROI through reduced medical costs, turnover rates, and talent attraction ? DON'T: Limit coverage to assisted reproductive technology (e.g. IVF) ? DO: Provide preconception support to help employees potentially avoid unnecessary treatments ? DON'T: Overlook the emotional toll of fertility journeys ? DO: Ensure that your benefits include mental health resources ? DON'T: Forget to consider all paths to parenthood ? DO: Include support for surrogacy, adoption, and male fertility Every family-building journey is unique—and with the right benefits strategy in place, you can ensure that every employee feels supported. #employeebenefits #fertility #HR
