Managing transition. Strengthening performance. Enabling people to thrive.
The Parental Fog Index Report 2020
Our second annual, Parental Fog Index, ranks the websites for the Times Top 100 Graduate Employers by how transparent their support is for working parents. Last year’s report was a clear call to action for employers to be more transparent in the support they offer working parents. A year on what progress has been made. What employers have risen in the rankings, which have fallen, and why?
Full of practice advice on how an employer can reach top “Beacon” status. Includes impact of Covid-19 on working parents and implications for employers until nurseries and schools are reliably open.

Testimonials
“The six sessions I had with my ECC Coach changed my perspective of coaching. I was initially uncertain (and possibly sceptical) about the benefits of coaching but my coach read me very well and knew when to coax a response out from me by being encouraging and when to firmly push me to see the benefits of reframing some of my previously held positions.”
Head of Legal, International Property Group“Both from my personal experience of ECC’s approach, and from seeing the impact on our company I can particularly recommend their pragmatic approach and their insight into our collective and individual needs.”
Senior Leader, Commercial Property Management and Investment Company“The team is a pleasure to work with, consistently bringing expert advice and guidance, energy and professionalism to the partnership.”
Diversity and Inclusion Executive, Multinational Investment Bank"The coaches at ECC are commercial, pragmatic and highly focused. The coaching they provide on an individual basis has given valuable insight and helped our senior executives to gain greater perspective in terms of managing relationships, prioritising, strategic thinking, influencing and confidence."
Senior Leader, Multinational Retailing Company"I found my ECC coaching sessions incredibly valuable - for the unique and necessary space I was seeking as a sole proprietor to feel heard, understood and connected to a peer in business. My coaching experience provided a safe space where I could be the real me, and provided a relationship I could truly trust. Thank you ECC."
