Welcome to another episode of Category Visionaries — the show that explores GTM stories from the tech's most innovative B2B founders. In today's episode, we're speaking with Dirk Doebler, Founder and CEO of Parento, a paid parental leave insurance solution that has raised $4.5 Million in funding. Here are the most interesting points from our conversation: Unconventional Path to Insurance: Despite a career in finance and operations, Dirk ventured into the insurance industry to tackle paid parental leave, a domain where he saw significant potential for social impact and financial innovation. Personal Drive for Entrepreneurship: Dirk's journey to founding Parento was fueled by a desire to work on problems that mattered to him personally, rather than fitting into the conventional job mold. His quest for meaningful work led him to identify and solve the challenge of providing paid parental leave. Founding Inspiration from Market Research: The realization that finance departments were the bottleneck in companies offering paid parental leave propelled Dirk to start Parento. He saw the need for a solution that could bridge the gap between HR's understanding of the leave's importance and finance's concerns about its cost and ROI. Solving a Financial Problem: Dirk identified paid parental leave as a finance issue requiring a finance solution. Parento was conceptualized to offer insurance that makes paid leave more feasible and appealing for companies by providing budget certainty and demonstrating clear ROI. Misconceptions about Paid Parental Leave: Dirk addresses common misconceptions companies have about paid parental leave, such as fears of abuse or misunderstanding the return on investment. He emphasizes the benefits of offering comprehensive leave policies for retention and talent attraction. Building for the Future: Looking ahead, Parento aims to be the go-to provider for supporting working families beyond just the parental leave phase. They plan to expand their suite of products to encompass broader family support, further integrating financial solutions with employee well-being.

    We're thrilled to welcome Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Minette Herrick on our latest episode of WarDocs. A Registered Dietician and international board-certified Lactation Consultant, Minette provides important insights on her compelling research, which draws from professional studies and personal experiences. The focus is on her enlightening article, 'Increasing Maternity Leave and Decreasing Attrition Rates of US Active Duty Women in the Prenatal and Immediate Postpartum Period.' She brings to the fore the critical issues surrounding maternity leave policies and their effect on the retention rates of female service members. We take you through the intriguing journey of the Department of Navy's shift from a six-week maternity leave policy to an 18-week one. Explore with us how this transition has significantly impacted the recruitment and retention rates in the military sector. We also shed light on critical policies like the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009 and the Secretary of Defense Leave Policy of 2016. Learn about the influence these policy shifts, including the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy, have had on the experiences of Active-Duty married members. Join in and gain a broader understanding of the importance of family-friendly policies in the military. Chapters: (00:00) Extended Maternity Leave in the Military (08:23) Military Maternity Leave and Retention Rates   Chapter Summaries: (00:00) Extended Maternity Leave in the Military Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Minette Herrick, a registered dietician and international board-certified lactation consultant, speaks about her article Increasing Maternity Leave and Decreasing Attrition Rates of US Active Duty Women in the Prenatal and Immediate Postpartum Period. Minette explains the reasons for her research, which included her personal experience of having four children while on active duty, and explores how providing paid parental leave can impact the organization. The results of the research show that women who are allotted six weeks of maternity leave had significantly greater odds of leaving the military, measured from the time of their initial prenatal visit to one year postpartum, than those who are entitled to 12 weeks of leave. We discuss the implications of these findings and the importance of health policy in positively impacting the health of people both inside and outside of the military.   (08:23) Military Maternity Leave and Retention Rates We discuss the changes in the Department of Navy's maternity leave policy, from six weeks to 18 weeks, and the impact it has had on recruitment and retention of female service members. We shed light on the importance of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009, which first allowed for maternity leave, and the Secretary of Defense Leap Policy of 2016, which allowed for 12 weeks of parental leave for both birth parents after a period of convalescent leave. We explore the implications of the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy, which gives active-duty married members the option to request caregiver separation. Finally, we discuss the findings of a retrospective cohort study of 67,281 active-duty women that found increased allotment of maternity leave from six weeks to 12 weeks was associated with decreased attrition rates.     Take Home Messages: Maternity leave policies can have a significant impact on the retention rates of female service members in the military. The shift from a six-week to an 18-week maternity leave policy in the Department of Navy has considerably influenced recruitment and retention rates. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2008 and 2009 and the Secretary of Defense Leap Policy of 2016 have played a crucial role in shaping maternity leave policies in the military. Policies such as the Military Couples Caregiver Separation policy have affected the experiences of active-duty married members. Family-friendly policies are of paramount importance in the military, helping to foster a healthier and more supportive environment for service members. Women who were allotted six weeks of maternity leave had significantly greater odds of leaving the military than those who received 12 weeks of leave. The Department of Defense's policy change in 2016, which increased maternity leave from six to 12 weeks, was intended to encourage workforce recruitment and retention and help the well-being of military families. Changes in maternity leave policy had the most significant retention benefit among junior enlisted and junior officers, emphasizing the importance of retaining talent among future leaders and innovators in the military. The new parental leave policy implemented in 2023, providing 12 weeks of leave to both birth parents, should be studied further for its impact on attrition, family dynamics, and paternal bonding. Family-friendly policies not only help retain talent but also send an essential message to military members and their families, affirming that the vitality of the military family is essential to mission success.   Episode Keywords: Military Maternity Leave, Retention Rates, National Defense Authorization Act, Secretary of Defense Leap Policy, Military Couples Caregiver Separation, Prenatal Visit, Postpartum Period, Paid Parental Leave, Health Policy, Attrition Rates, Convalescent Leave, Retrospective Cohort Study   Hashtags: #MilitaryMaternityLeave #PolicyShifts #RetentionRates #LieutenantColonelHerrick #MilitaryFamilies #WomenInMilitary #MaternityPolicyChange #FamilyFriendlyPolicies #ActiveDuty #MilitaryMedicine #WarDocsPodcast #ParentalLeave #NavyMaternityPolicy #MilitaryRetention #NationalDefenseAuthorizationAct #MilitaryRecruitment #MilitaryAttritionRates #MilitaryServiceMembers #MilitaryFamilySupport #PostpartumInMilitary   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

Imagine a world where mothers and those without children earn the same, where parental leave is a basic human right and not a luxury. Is it a utopia or a feasible reality? In this episode, we tackle the contentious topic of the wage gap between mothers and other workers, arguing for the adoption of universal maternity and paternity paid leave. We discuss the potential of such policies to mitigate wage disparities, as well as their potential to positively impact mental health by reducing the career cost of parenthood and allowing both parents to bond with their newborn.In a turn of conversation, we address America's escalating mental health crisis, exploring potential triggers, including the omnipresent roles of social media, stress, and technology. We establish the integral role of parental leave and discuss the changing dynamics of women in the workforce, delineating how these shifts may be contributing to the mental health crisis. We also delve deep into the concept of attachment theory, examining its influence on parenting styles and subsequent impact on the mental health of children. Mass Shootings and Mental Illness Wrapping up our thought-provoking discourse, we shed light on the impact of maternal sensitivity on mental health, contemplating the potential consequences of certain sleep training methods. We advocate for universal childcare as a means to foster a securely attached population and discuss the detrimental effects of poverty on maternal sensitivity and the negative outcomes of disorganized attachment. In conclusion, we ruminate on the significance of maternity and paternity leave in shaping the well-being of families and children. We take a critical look at both the Republican and Democratic party policies and their pertinence to mental health.

Before Dirk Doebler, there was no such thing as paid parental leave insurance. Now, Dirk is changing the lives of millions by offering a unique program that is changing the way Americans live and work. Dirk Doebler is the founder and CEO of Parento. Parento is employers' all-in-one solution for working families. With its insurance-based parental leave & support program, Parento enables companies to retain and elevate working parents, particularly working mothers.  This unprecedented brand is transforming the landscape for employers and making increased retention and engagement of parents a reality. Parento is proving that investing in working parents is good for business.  Headquartered in New York, Parento recently completed the Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator and its policies are backed by A-rated reinsurers. Dirk is committed to helping businesses capture the missing $12 trillion in global growth (McKinsey) by reducing the 43% of highly-skilled women who leave the workforce after becoming a mother. Prior to founding Parento, Dirk held roles in the finance and the consumer wellness industries, serving as CFO at the women-founded Dame Products. During his time at Dame, he played a key role in strategy development and execution to grow annual revenue 10x and achieve profitability with minimal outside equity. Prior to Dame Products, Dirk worked at Barclays and in Analytics at Sikorsky. He graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with degrees in Economics and Finance. Build the world you want to live in Dirk Doebler was working at Dame Products when he noticed a disturbing trend: Their ads were constantly being rejected because their products are marketed towards women. In stark contrast, male-focused brands such as Trojan, Viagra and Roman were flying past ad censorship.  Dirk realized that there was an undiscussed societal bias against companies created for and by women. He began digging into inequalities in the world of finance and marketing and investigated a major gap in the industry: Paid Family Leave. Realizing that a lack of paid family leave is keeping women out of the workforce or permanently stalling their careers, he identified a need for an unprecedented new company. Look to the future, not the present When founding Parento, Dirk did not use other insurance companies as an example. After all, they didn't provide the type of insurance he was working to create - and constantly disappointed their consumers.  Instead, Dirk focused on reforming the entire experience of paid parental leave. He interviewed finance experts, collected data to prove that paid parental leave helps both families and companies, and discussed issues with both human resources and company finance departments. He even evaluated luxury brands and the type of customer experiences they offer their clients.  An unprecedented brand requires visionary leadership While approaching the issue of paid parental leave, Dirk encountered cultural challenges, archaic ideas and technical obstacles. But none of that slowed him down.  Currently, most companies do not offer paid parental leave at all - much less a plan that entices top talent. Employees were feeling unappreciated and even disrespected by the companies they were working for, which often expected them to act like nothing had changed after their leave had passed. He also found that paid parental leave is usually only offered to women who are giving birth - leaving out fathers, adoptive parents and foster families. This leaves ample room for inequity in households. Women therefore become significantly more likely to leave the workforce or experience career plateaus. Dirk sought to build a plan that offered more than just basic insurance - it provided ongoing support and coaching on work-life integration. By caring for employees and eliminating sources of inequity and stress, Parento helps parents return to work feeling inspired and motivated. Quotes “Ignore the negative things people say about starting a company. Sure, you have to work hard and it takes a lot of time. But don't let that sway you. Only really listen to what your users and customers are saying.” “This is a program that did not exist. No one had paid parental leave insurance. We had to create it from the ground up.” “I was trying to offer paid parental leave to my employees. Being in finance, I understood the challenges of trying to budget for that - How to mitigate the risk, and how to make sure employees are coming back after you pay them not to work for three or four months because that's a concern for a lot of organizations. That led me to talk to dozens of finance leaders and I discovered that they don't know how to budget for parental leave. They don't know what the ROI is, if there's going to be one.” “The most important thing is, it's gender-neutral. It's going to cover parents whether they're giving birth, adopting or fostering. We actually don't really care about the parent's gender or how that child gains a home, we just want to know that the employee is bonding with a new child.” “We provide a support system. Employees have access to unlimited emotional support, and even parenting advice before, during, and after leave. Most employees use 12-14 hours of support with our coaches during their leave. There's someone helping them manage their anxiety, stress, how to get their baby to sleep, and then work-life integration. We help them manage their calendar, and make sure that they are adjusting back to work.” “We can build analysis for companies. We can determine how many women they have likely lost over the years due to parenthood. We can put a price tag on that for organizations. We make it transparent to companies, not just intended to sell. The ability to bridge the divide between HR and finance is huge.” Links mentioned in this episode: Learn all about Parento, the world's only paid parental leave insurance company at    https://www.parentoleave.com/  Follow Parento on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ParentoLeave  Connect with Dirk Doebler on LinkedIn at  https://www.linkedin.com/in/ddoebler/  Read Medium's article interviewing Dirk Doebler on their website at https://medium.com/authority-magazine/working-well-dirk-doebler-of-parento-on-how-companies-are-creating-cultures-that-support-sustain-75f78d6ee56a
