Expecting women have more responsibilities and tasks to complete in the next nine months than the rest of us. In addition to their regular life, they have to worry about things such which foods are safe and nutritious, and also keep up to date on the latest developments in child care. Fifth Third Bank is a company looking to ease that burden by offering a Concierge type service to expecting employees. The whole family benefits, not just the expecting mother. Resources and support are one of the innovative offerings this company has put forward in their plan. It makes pregnancy for first time mothers easier and less overwhelming.  The service also benefits the business by making it easier for leaders and management since they can now refer an employee to the concierge and not wonder what they can do to assist.

• The service helps new Moms make the transition from pregnancy to maternity leave back, and then again back to work, thereby retaining their valuable Mom/workers.
• Tanner, the program’s founder wanted to stop the insidious trend of returned maternity workers leaving within a year of returning.
