Our Mission: Retain Your Top Talent and Foster Family-Friendly Workplaces
Let's face it - the workplace isn't changing, it has changed.
The pressures of family life and the corporate landscape have been at odds for years. The result - your most valued, trusted employees are leaving the workplace en-masse (1 in 4 according to McKinsey).
What employers don't realise: it's costing you hundreds of thousands or millions in attrition-related costs.
makeSpace is dedicated to transforming the corporate landscape with a focus on delivering actionable insights through workshops and online training. We equip teams with the necessary resources to create a thriving environment for working parents.
Meet the founder
Hi, I’m Anna Burgan — Founder of makeSpace.
I work with organisations to strengthen how managers support working parents so they can retain talent, sustain performance, and build cultures where people can thrive across life stages.
Working Parent Expertise
My work focuses on the career moments where organisations most often lose talent: parental leave, return-to-work transitions, and flexible leadership expectations.
Leadership Capability Focus
I equip managers with practical tools to support working parents through transition points that influence retention and progression.
Evidence-Led Perspective
My work connects culture, leadership behaviour, and business outcomes — particularly where organisations risk losing experienced talent.
