Leading with Empathy
Pregnancy Loss & Infertility in the Workplace
A conversation most organisations are not having but should be.
Pregnancy loss and fertility challenges are far more common than many organisations realise yet they remain largely unspoken in the workplace.
​
This is not a minor or short-term experience. It is physical, emotional, and often prolonged impacting focus, performance, and overall wellbeing in ways that are not always visible.
Without the right awareness and support, many employees feel forced to navigate this silently or leave altogether.
​
​​Why this matters for organisations: The impact goes beyond the individual.
​​
​A lack of understanding or structure around pregnancy loss can lead to:
-
Loss of experienced, high-performing talent
-
Reduced engagement and productivity
-
Increased absenteeism and burnout
-
Reputational risk in an increasingly values-driven workplace​​
​
In a world where inclusion and employee wellbeing are business priorities, this is an area that cannot be overlooked.
