And Beyond的动态

I am getting my LinkedIn game sorted. Let me start with an intro to who I am and what I can help out with. After two babies & leaving the world of Media, I trained as a doula and focussed on the Postnatal space. The bit when the baby comes home and the fun really starts. I have supported countless families in the early weeks & months. With time, the benefit of preparation really came into it's own. Seeing where women thrive and where the challenges come from is clear. Without doubt, there are things you can do before baby comes and you become mum to put yourself in strong position. Supporting women to have a strong start to motherhood. #pregnancy #workplacesupport #supportnetwork #employeebenefits #supportmanagerstosupportteammembers

Inclusion action 2??1??: #WorkingWhilePregnant - does your office offer pregnancy parking? It’s time it should ?????? I’m 35 weeks pregnant and MASSIVE. Last week, I had to climb from the drivers seat of my car to the passenger seat so I could get out… Walking (even short distances) is embarrassingly exhausting and painful now ?? Accessibility has become an everyday consideration for when and where I travel. And that applies to work too! So what’s my call to action? ?? Ensure pregnant women commuting by car can park close to the office entrance (repurpose/ use a disabled space, if needed) ?? Don’t just limit to women, enable partners to park close in the event they need to make a speedy exit! What’s your experience #WorkingWhilePregnant and commuting by car/parking at the office? Tell me in the comments ?????? #DesignHerIn #HealthAndSafety #Facilities #Pregnancy #Transport #Transportation #Inclusion

Completely agree with Birthrights we need a rights-based, avtively trauma-informed approach to maternal care. One where women's bodily autonomy is at the core because how women are treated during their pregnancy, birth and mothering journeys can have a lasting impact not only on individuals but society as a whole. If you need support Birthrights have extensive information on their website and a free advice service: https://lnkd.in/eHzq7HW8 #birthrights #birthchoices #birthjustice

Last week, I talked to Jessica Craft about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP Act. She's pretty passionate about these laws and helped break them down for my audience. One of the key parts of this law is that it requires an interactive process between the employee and the employer to figure out what is going to be the most appropriate and reasonable accommodations. Managers, if you want to understand the types of accommodations pregnant women may need, stay tuned for this week's episode where I'll cover a few ideas for some of the most common needs during pregnancy. #PregnantWorkersFairnessAct #Pregnancy #Accommodations #Equality #NextGenWorkCulture #Podcast #WorkingParents #Managers #HumanResources #EmployeeRetention #EmployeeExperience #WorkCulture

Interesting article about potential new legislation in Nebraska around parental rights for newborn screenings. It's important for parents to be well-informed and know their options to make the best choices for their children's health. However, these screenings are crucial for early detection of possible health issues. The topic requires a balanced, considerate approach. #ParentalRights #NewbornScreening #ChildHealth #PublicHealth #NebraskaLegislation #pregnancy #babybump #pregnant https://lnkd.in/emZHAKbY

Really enjoyed this article on the benefits of parental leave, even without having a baby. It's crucial to remember that self-care and personal growth can often lead to increased productivity and happiness at work as well. Also, balancing workplace equity by normalizing leave for other purposes aside from child care can definitely promote a healthier work environment for all! #SelfCare #WorkLifeBalance #GenderEquality #Sabbatical #GrowthMindset #pregnancy #babybump #pregnant https://lnkd.in/gDGyjsuy

Inclusion action 1??9??: #WorkingWhilePregnant - Touching the pregnant belly… Can you, can’t you? ?? ????People love touching pregnant bellies… It’s hard to articulate why but something about a tiny human miracle living inside another human is too intriguing! AND this somehow translates to think we should touch the pregnant belly. ?? I caution you ?? There are very few scenarios in a work setting where this is acceptable. These are, in my opinion: ? The person asking is BOTH a colleague and close personal friend ? The person asking is BOTH your colleague and parent to your unborn child Anyone else, I’d recommend you don’t put the person in an awkward position. So what’s my call to action? ??♀? Generally speaking, there’s no good reason to be touching women in your workplace. Best to just NOT. ?? And if you choose to ignore my advice in the presence of a pregnant belly ALWAYS ask permission/ consent. What’s your experience #WorkingWhilePregnant with touching? Tell me in the comments ?????? #Harassment #Pregnancy #WorkingMums #GenderEquality #Inclusion Image - Me touching my own pregnant belly when a friend and ex colleague requested an up to date image ??
