The People Practice Group is a UK-based consultancy that helps organisations retain senior talent and experienced leaders by supporting expectant, new and seasoned working parents. Founded by Hannah Porteous-Butler, a parental transitions coach, leadership expert and mother of four, the business’s distinctive approach reflects Hannah’s lived experience and 20+ years in senior leadership and people management.
The People Practice Group partners with HR and leadership teams to embed practical, tailored solutions that improve retention, boost engagement, and future-proof your workforce. Our work recognises that parenthood often coincides with an employee’s most valuable career years, and that losing talent at this stage is costly, frustrating and unnecessary for everyone.
Our signature R.E.T.A.I.N. Framework supports employers to design inclusive policies, equip managers to lead with confidence, and help parents navigate key career transitions.
Our services include:
- Parental transition coaching (1:1 or group)
- Bespoke parental leave toolkits
- Inclusive leadership training
- Strategic policy and culture consultancy
- On-demand workshops and clinics
At The People Practice Group, we believe family-friendly workplaces aren’t just good for people, they’re good for business. We help employers become organisations where talent wants to stay, grow, and lead.
