Platform55

The founders

Both Michelle and Tracy were balancing senior leadership positions whilst raising a young family, and recognised a pressing need to support parents in the workplace. Since launching in June 2021, Platform55 has won multiple awards and gained industry recognition for its innovative work in ED&I, driving gender equality, and enhancing the ‘modern family’ employee experience.

With a purpose to change the world of work, Platform55 addresses the fact that 55% of the workforce are parents, and over 75% will have caring responsibilities in the future. Our expert-led platform supports employees to balance work and family, whilst driving gender equality at work. Our goal is to help people have a fulfilling career and family life.
