Breaking the Silence: Supporting Fertility Challenges in the Modern Workplace
Practical Insights and Legal Considerations for business owners and HR professionals.
Join this insightful webinar hosted by WorkNest in partnership with our sister company, esphr.
Tuesday, 26th September at 2.00pm
Among the many personal experiences that can profoundly impact an employee’s wellbeing, fertility challenges represent a significant and often unspoken journey. As modern workplaces evolve towards greater inclusivity and empathy, understanding and supporting employees navigating these challenges is not just a moral duty; it’s a vital aspect of fostering a compassionate and productive work environment.
A recent nationwide research study from our sister company esphr, featuring insights from over 500 HR professionals and 700 line managers, on line manager capability unveiled that providing support and facilitating discussions on fertility-related challenges ranked among the top five areas where line managers felt the least confident.
Interestingly, it also emerged as one of the top three areas where line managers desired to be upskilled.
In this exclusive webinar, we are thrilled to bring together two distinguished experts in their fields. Lorna Gemmell, a seasoned HR Trainer from WorkNest, and Sarah James, an Associate Solicitor from esphr, will join forces to shed light on practical considerations for HR professionals in building and fostering fertility-inclusive workplaces. They will also delve into the ethical and legal considerations when addressing fertility challenges in your organisation.
What’s on the agenda?
In this free 45 minute session, our HR and employment law experts from the WorkNest group will explore:
- How fertility issues can impact employees at work
- Steps that HR professionals and managers can take to support employees experiencing fertility challenges
- Key legislation that employers need to be aware of when it comes to supporting employees with fertility challenges
