The Workplace Doesn’t Just Impact Mothers—Mothers Impact the Workplace.
Backed by The Science of Modern Motherhood™—a national research study by ELIXR— we’ve proven that motherhood is not a singular event. It’s a lifelong evolution that shapes leadership capacity, career progression, and employee engagement. Yet most workplace policies and systems fail to reflect this reality—leading to costly attrition, stalled advancement, and untapped potential across the talent pipeline.
ELIXR’s Five Phases of Matrescence™ identify the key career moments where support for working mothers matters most—shaping retention, leadership growth, and long-term workforce health.
Anticipation → Prepare future parents with proactive support.
Transformation → Ease re-entry and retain top talent.
Navigation → Support mid-career caregiving without stalling growth.
Evolution → Empower leadership reinvention later in motherhood.
Legacy → Leverage experience through mentorship and advocacy.
When organizations embed matrescence-aware strategies into workforce planning, they don’t just support mothers—they future-proof their teams.
Motherhood isn’t a barrier. It’s a business advantage.
