Fertility Matters at work…and here’s why – Virtual – 29th February 2024 – 12:30pm

The “Fertility Matters at work…and here’s why” webinar, is the first in the series and highlights the topic of fertility in the workplace and demonstrates why organisations need to commit to becoming/ being fertility-friendly. Topics covered will include understanding infertility, the prevalence of fertility treatment needs, the emotional and physical impacts of fertility treatment and loss, and how managers and colleagues can offer support. The event also sets the stage for future discussions on related topics.

This webinar is for Diversity Project members only.

Miscarriage, stillbirth and baby loss – Virtual – 26th April – 11am

Trigger Warning: baby loss

An estimated one in four pregnancies ends in miscarriage.  An average of 8 babies a day are stillborn.  Some people will experience multiple losses.  Most workplaces have staff who have been or may be affected.

But many employers rarely have policies in place to help. Managers are not always clear on their responsibilities and colleagues may not know what to say.
Please join us on Friday 26th April at 11am, where we will be joined by the charity 4Louis, which helps support families through miscarriage, stillbirth and child loss. 4Louis will share their experience and their mission to help raise awareness, break the taboo and discuss how employers can support their employees.
