Our Workplace Training and Consultancy Services
Our research findings, which are supported by a major report from the CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development), show that a lack of support from employers and managers can result in various negative consequences for organisations:
- Reduced productivity and engagement from the countless employees affected.
- Reduced quality of work
- Increased absence
- Increased turnover/resignations.
Thoughtful support and management, on the other hand, can make a real difference to how affected employees cope, process their experience and can enhance an employee’s motivation and commitment.
Our training and consultancy programme equips HR, managers and colleagues with the skills they need to best support a staff member at this often very difficult and distressing time.
We’ve worked with a number of organisations across sectors, including British Airways, Co-op, Channel 4, Direct Line, Southeastern Railway, Atkins, Ipsos Mori and many others – informing them on how to sensitively approach pregnancy loss in the workplace.
Here’s how we can help your organisation, too…
