Miscarriage at Work: Compassionate Design & Employee Support

Welcome to episode sixteen of The EXperience Lounge! A weekly podcast dedicated to EX design, the future of work and digital HR.  In this episode, Laura and Sasha discuss pregnancy loss at work. October marks Baby Loss Awareness Week (#BLAW2021) and this episode looks at how organisations can support employees going through pregnancy loss and miscarriage. They discuss the importance of paid leave and why any miscarriage policy should support both partners, not just pregnant women and some support systems organisations can implement to create a  more compassionate experience.  Disclaimer: A message from the co-hosts.
