0.1 - BESPOKE TRAINING
Trusted to care. 'Designed by Midwives for Mothers’ is more than our strap line. It creates a precedence for our services, enabling us to provide professional services to an organisation’s best assets - their people. We deliver training with conviction, confident in that we have developed unrivalled programmes of corporate education that provide managers and SLT with highly specialised knowledge and skills in a format that is easily accessible depending on the specific needs of your organisation.
We aren’t training your managers to be midwives, instead we are up-skilling departments, equipping them with toolkits and personalised programmes, so that they can best support their colleagues. Our training programmes are not a ‘nice to have’ they are an essential for companies to say ahead. Women represent 51% of the workforce and 86% of women will be a mother by the time they turn 40. That means that by not thinking about working mums means you're not thinking about 43% of the working population (Careers After Babies, 2023). Improve CSG, bolster EDI incentives, enhance employee development. Increase loyalty, lower sickness absence and attract better female talent.

🟣 Maternity Training tailored for all employees. Delivered through an Interactive Workshop.
🟣 E-Learning access available for employees for learning and development beyond the workshop.
🟣 Face-to-face and online training options available.
🟣 Half day or full day workshops.

2.0 - PARENTAL SUPPORT
Understanding people is key. People first is paramount.
We partner with organisations that share these same values. We are lead and driven by wanting to do better for mothers and working parents.
We don’t take a one sized fits all approach, ever. Our business is based on humble foundations, working with women and families in the most intimate of moments. Supporting individuals through birth and beyond. Recognising and understanding that we all have varying, complex needs.
We remain connected to the human element, connected to what our profession means. Midwife = ‘with woman’. Our understanding therefore of people, your people, your employees is profound. Our facilitators have been chosen for their expertise in delivering training nationally, their wealth of knowledge around maternal health. All have former or current health professional status, so they are in the best position to support your employees when they have questions on the course.

3.0 - Lotus Learning
Our award-winning courses are a lifeline for new parents, whether it’s the first or third time around! Employees can engage with the classes at their own pace, when is most convenient and comfortable.
Explore a wide range of midwife-led classes, alongside allied health professionals and consultants, to support and guide your colleagues through the most vulnerable phase in their lives. In a world with never enough time, they can now access all the essential, parenting information you need, online, anytime and anywhere.
There is a lot to try and figure out with a newborn baby and so much conflicting advice, that we wanted to help make the transition into parenthood that little bit easier and less daunting. The demand for our support continues to be high, particularly as there is little help in the hospital maternity settings and community provisions are scarce. Lotus Maternity Learning has been carefully created to encapsulate all of our help, support, teaching and professional education into a digital format, so that the support mothers and parents desperately need can positively impact more families. Our aim is to support you in raising the next generation and we are with you every single step of the way.
