Free HR Training: Miscarriage, Fertility & Inclusive Workplaces
Supporting employees through pregnancy loss, fertility challenges and childlessness requires more than good intentions; it requires understanding, confidence and the right tools.
MISS Miscarriage Support is delighted to be partnering with MIST Workshops to deliver a free programme of workplace training designed to help organisations create more compassionate, informed and inclusive workplaces.
Facilitated by Katy Schnitzler, Founder of MIST Workshops and a specialist in reproductive health in the workplace, the series provides practical, evidence-based guidance for HR professionals, managers, wellbeing leads and organisational leaders.
Why attend?
Conversations around miscarriage, fertility treatment and childlessness can feel difficult, but they are experiences that affect employees in every workplace.
With changes to statutory bereavement leave for pregnancy loss on the horizon, there has never been a better time for organisations to review their policies, improve workplace culture and ensure managers feel equipped to support colleagues with empathy and confidence.
Whether your organisation is just beginning this journey or looking to build on existing policies, these free sessions offer practical knowledge that can make a lasting difference.
