Description

Are you losing 25% of your high-value talent after parental leave?

For sales organizations, turnover isn't just an HR metric—it's a severe revenue drain. Replacing a seasoned sales pro costs up to $200,000, making retention a strategic priority. This week on the podcast, we unpack the critical, often-overlooked moment where organizations hemorrhage talent: the return from parental leave. 

We sit down with Karla Calinawan, founder of Fand Foundry and a leader who navigated three parental leaves in high-stakes tech environments. She argues that the post-leave transition is where leaders earn loyalty.
