Keep your career on track while you have a baby.
Branch is a professional membership for women building both a career and a family.
We connect and guide women through the transitional moments of starting maternity leave and returning to work.
Join a growing network of professional women navigating the transition into working motherhood.
Our MembersMembers have joined us from organisations including:
Motherhood is a profound professional transition.
For women who have invested years in their careers, having a baby raises questions about identity, priorities and ambition. Branch helps women explore these together.
How Branch WorksMembers join Branch at the pivotal transitions of starting maternity leave and returning to work. They remain part of the network for life.
Step 1 Join a cohort
Members begin by joining a Branch cohort of women navigating the same moment in their careers – either before maternity leave or as they return to work.
Step 2Guided transition
Each cohort experiences a facilitated five-week journey that is designed to build new relationships. In small groups, participants explore frameworks to help them navigate the professional transition.
Step 3The network
After completing a cohort, members become Branch alumni.
Over time, this creates a growing network of professional women who have navigated these transitions together.
