Extra Help
The advice and guidance will help expectant mums and dads feel reassured throughout the pregnancy and ease stresses that could otherwise impact their work both before and after birth. Employers who provide better support to expectant parents can help attract and retain the best staff, as well as increase loyalty within the company.
Maternity/paternity leave
Employees are also more likely to return to a company that has supported them through maternity/paternity leave and empathised with their journey. Including support like this in a benefits package will help show that you are investing in gender diversity and even help to close the gender pay gap, which research shows expands rapidly after the birth of a first child.
Advice and guidance
The online courses offer your staff clear advice and guidance on what happens during pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. Recent social distancing restrictions have forced many antenatal courses to close, but as these videos are hosted online, you can still offer your staff support at this important time. These courses are designed to support employees from the moment they find out they are pregnant. Each 20 – 45 minute episode provides useful information and helpful tips on a variety of topics, from making a birth plan to how to manage the first few weeks.
