AI-Powered Parental Leave Support to Improve Career Outcomes
An AI-powered system that turns parental leave into a measurable workplace transition, identifying scalable coverage and re-onboarding practices that protect women's careers and wellbeing.
Parental leave is a high-risk, informally managed transition driving gender gaps in careers. This project compares AI-supported versus AI-plus-human guidance across preparation, leave, and re-entry. By linking support practices to career and wellbeing longitudinal outcomes, we further use AI to identify what matters most and for whom, and uncovers gaps in manager understanding. Our solution creates a practical, scalable playbook for organizations in an AI-enabled world, turning parental leave into a skillfully managed career transition.
