Turn parental leave

Turn parental leave into a moment that builds trust
Parental leave is a critical moment in the employee lifecycle. When it’s unclear or poorly supported, it becomes the start of disengagement and attrition.
Manela helps companies turn that moment into a signal of care, preparedness, and long-term commitment.
With an enterprise license, employees get all the benefits of Manela—financial planning, upskilling, and structured return-to-work tools—plus your company policies built directly into the experience. No more searching for top-up details. No more scrambling to understand past accommodations or phased returns. No more managers worrying about saying the wrong thing.
Instead, parents get clear, accurate, and timely information that reflects both government benefits and your internal policies—so the company feels prepared, not reactive.
The result:
• Less HR time spent answering repeat questions
• More confident managers
• Higher retention during and after parental leave
Nearly one in three women leave their job within six months of returning from parental leave—not to leave the workforce, but to go somewhere else. Manela helps make sure they stay.

Automatic Coordination Across Teams
When leave is planned, Manela keeps the right people informed—HR, managers, payroll, and benefits—through automated notifications and workflows. Less manual work, fewer errors, and a smoother experience for everyone involved.
