Allison Venditti

"Allison is a Career Coach and HR Expert with over 15 years of experience creating programs, policy and change for companies and individuals. Her approach to creating programs for working parents and women in organizations is shockingly simple. Create community, ask your employees (see how she didn't use stakeholders there), use data to track outcomes and be afraid to be vulnerable by not looking how everyone else is doing it. No one created amazing programs by copying the status quo. Allison partners with think tanks and organizations, and writes for media and corporations about working parents. She has a passion for and deep expertise in return to work, maternity leave and paternity leave. She has worked with over 800 individuals and run Canada's only comprehensive program to support working mothers return to work successfully from maternity leave, with over 200 participants in 18 months. She works with individuals in career change, entrepreneurship and more. Allison has worked in most industries, including health care, technology and startups, nonprofit, manufacturing, finance, banking, consulting, mining, engineering, insurance, government, corporate real estate, transportation and more.
