Omaia WorkplacePrepare your managers for the first conversation
Guidance for your managers, and emotional support for your employees and their partners, through the whole journey into parenthood: before, during and after pregnancy.
- We’re trying for a baby.
- We’ve started IVF.
- I’m pregnant.
- My partner is expecting.
- We lost the baby.
- I’m coming back after leave.
Most managers will hear one of these at work
Becoming a parent is one journey: planning and trying, fertility treatment, pregnancy and sometimes loss, birth, and coming back to work. People carry all of it into work, often for months before they say a word.
When they do, it rarely happens in an HR meeting. It happens in a 1:1, in a corridor, in a Teams message late on a Thursday. Most managers want to get it right, so they say very little. And the colleague hears the silence.

Support for everyone in the conversation
For managers
Know what to say, ask, offer and avoid
A short lesson each week, before the moment comes, and a guide to open when someone has just told them.
For employees and their partners
Omaia Sense, for them and the one they trust
Emotional support through the whole journey into parenthood, before, during and after pregnancy. Partners have their own way in, with guidance for where they are now.
What partners told us
- “I want to understand what is happening without my wife having to explain it all.”
- “I wish I had arranged more help at home before the birth.”
- “My pregnancy app stopped being useful for me once the baby was born.”
Paraphrased from Omaia’s partner interviews, 2026
For HR
See the impact, never the person
Omaia Workplace and Omaia Sense are easy to launch, with a ready-made kit for the channels you already use. A scorecard then shows how it is going, from managers onboarded to how supported people feel. Numbers only show for groups of 10 or more. You never see names or what anyone wrote.

Find the right fit together in a discovery call
Built by people who have been there
“I got a call from a former colleague. She asked if I could help another colleague, who had lost her baby. I could, and I did. Most people don’t have someone like that to call.”
With the midwives and psychologists who meet these families every day
“I meet people before pregnancy, during and after. What most of them carry is worry: about their own health, the baby’s health, their life situation, their relationship, and how they will feel afterwards.”
Anna FalkenströmRegistered nurse and midwife“So many feel they have to do it the right way. I help people find their own way: what matters to them, like being present, kind and engaged. We need to build trust in ourselves to handle uncertainty and whatever challenges come our way. And partners need support in their role too.”
