The Bridge Back To You
Keep your maternal talent healthy, engaged, and retained, reducing workforce costs while building employer brand strength
Retain critical talent
Continuous support from pregnancy to return-to-work reduces avoidable exits after maternity leave.
Maintain engagement during leave
Matresa fills the support gap when traditional benefits pause, keeping mothers supported and connected
Stronger teams, lower disruption
Healthier mothers mean smoother transitions, reduced absenteeism and a more resilient workforce.
Most maternity benefits are:
• Reactive
• Generic
• Limited to leave paperwork or EAP
They do not provide:
• Preventative maternal health screening
• Structured postnatal support
• Return-to-work pathways
That’s where attrition begins.
Where traditional maternity benefits fall short.

This program helps employers:

This can be delivered as a standalone initiative or as the first phase of a full Matresa implementation.
