WIN two tickets to Platform 55’s Maternity: Return to Work event

If you’re about to return to work after your maternity leave, or have returned in the last 12 months, this event will help you make a confident return to work and re-establish yourself in your role and career.

Platform 55’s first-ever in-person event, Maternity: Return to Work Experience, offers a unique opportunity for women to gather with others from different industries who are about to return or have recently returned within the last 12 months.

Returning to work after having a baby can be challenging for many women. As Platform55 co-founder Tracy Gunn shares, “I wondered how I could be the mum I wanted to be, and the professional I needed to be. The good news is, we can do both, but getting the right support at this time is key.”

For those otherwise unaware, Platform 55 is a solution for organisations who want to build fair, future-ready workplaces – supporting people and their leaders at key life stages. They support people through the moments that matter most, from burnout to parenthood, helping them stay engaged, grow and perform at their best, whilst helping organisations create measurable progress in gender equality, employee engagement, and leadership capability.

Founded by Michelle O’Keeffe and Tracy Gunn in 2021, Platform55 has won multiple awards, including the IMAGE PwC Diversity & Inclusion Industry Leader and IMAGE’s The Pitch in 2024.

Led by Platform 55 co-founder Tracy Gunn, this workshop equips returners with the tools, confidence, and clarity they need to successfully navigate the transition back to work.

What to expect

Taking place on Thursday, May 29, in the Radisson Blu, Dublin, this interactive workshop runs from 9.30-4pm and will cover:

• Clarifying values and setting boundaries
• Managing guilt and building resilience
• Navigating key conversations

Attendees leave with a comprehensive workbook full of practical strategies, reflective exercises, and insights from other returners–a valuable resource to support their growth well beyond the workshop.
