Our engagement platform delivers a fully integrated experience from pre-pregnancy through to the return to work.
We're dedicated to supporting companies in making positive changes, quickly.

Meet the team
Having experienced parental leave, we were inspired to look further and learn more about others’ experiences and attitudes.
The idea for Raise was born through speaking with hundreds of parents and line managers.
We have a passion for ensuring that parents have a consistent, engaging experience, and positively re-enter the workplace feeling supported and ready to drive employer value.
Together with our advisors, we bring a wealth of senior level experience from the UK’s most respected brands.
Our advisers and non-executive team include experts in HR, platform development, start-ups & employment law.
