Trigger warning: fertility Last week, myself and 3 brave colleagues told our stories of starting a family and the journeys we went on, to get there. Miscarriage and infertility have long been a 'taboo' topic to discuss anywhere, let alone in the workplace and I feel incredibly proud of us all, for opening up conversation and changing the narrative. There was coffee, cake and tears (lots of them!) as we spoke of our experiences including IVF, adoption, miscarriage and infertility/TTC in an environment that felt safe and supportive. For some context: two of my colleagues have only been at Breathe a mere couple of months and it's a real credit to Breathe's company culture that they felt comfortable to be that vulnerable in front of us all. There was so much love and respect in the room, and it's really opened my eyes to how much sharing (& caring) can improve team relationships and build trust amongst colleagues. Better for people and better for business. I'm sure of it. Huge credit to Serena P. for setting up these 'Grounds for Discussion' events 👏 Each one brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding but the most important thing; true respect and empathy for the people I work with and what they might be going through, on a daily basis - inside the office and out ❤️ #GroundsforDiscussion #companyculture #taboo #miscarriage #infertility #IVF #adoption #fertility #peoplefirst
Every quarter Breathe holds space for our 'Grounds for Discussion' ☕ project. Dreamt up by our Product Owner, Serena P., this is an opportunity for people who've been affected by the topics, to stand up and talk about their experiences and offer recommendations for further learning 📚 So far we've held sessions for LGBTQ+ and Diversity themes and yesterday, we discussed fertility in our 'Fertility Forum', including, infertility, IVF, adoption and miscarriage. As an employer, it's super important to us that we cover these somewhat sensitive subjects, open up conversation and think about how we can better ourselves, as an organisation, to support our people 💙 Does your company do anything similar? We'd love to know in the comments 👇 #TeamBreathe #GroundsforDiscussion #LGBTQ #EDI #Fertility #PeopleFirst

Why we've launched a Gender Identity pathway 🥁 According to Stonewall, over a third of LGBTQ+ people feel they need to hide who they are at work. One in five feel that being LGBTQ+ limits their job opportunities. We believe that all employees, no matter their gender identity or sexual orientation, should be given the support they need to bring their best selves to work. Our Gender Identity pathway focusses on gender inclusive reproductive healthcare, including: 🏥 Clinically-led fertility and family-forming support for LGBTQ+ people 💜 Gender affirming care and support through potential hormone treatment 💼 Gender identity challenges and workplace support, including line manager and HR training Our in-house clinical team leaders have a strong understanding of surrogacy and egg donation programmes, as well as LGBTQIA gender affirmation support and care. We refer our patients on to our specialist partner clinics clinics that are inclusive to LGBTQ+ people, as a standard. If you're an employer looking to support your employees through gender identity challenges of any kind, get in touch with our team to hear about how we can help: https://lnkd.in/e8pgej8E #workplacewellbeing #employeesupport #employeebenefits #hrcommunity #LGBTQ+

You can still celebrate July 4th and want our country to do better in a number of ways: - Not having two old white men as our only options for president - Wanting a Supreme Court that doesn't give such broad immunity to the president---going against what our Founders put in place 248 years ago - Paid parental leave at the federal level - Access to affordable healthcare - Access to affordable childcare - Reproductive freedom - Better maternal health - Equal pay for women - Basic freedoms for LGBTQ+ Americans (they're missing in 28 states) - Doing more work to pinpoint and combat barriers to equality and justice imposed by structural racism These two will inherit the country we're creating right now. #fourthofjuly #equalpay #equalrights #reproductivefreedom #LGBTQrights #paidparentalleave

🌈 Exciting news on the 2024 Aetna Discrimination Lawsuit: This is a major step towards equality in fertility treatments for LGBTQ couples! As part of our commitment to providing inclusive and accessible fertility care, we’re thrilled to share this update with you. Aetna’s decision to cover fertility treatments for LGBTQ couples is a major win for equality in healthcare. Here Dr. Janelle Luk @GoodLuckLuk discusses how this policy change impacts our patients directly, ensuring that everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, has equitable access to the care they need to build their families. Do you think this will set a new precedent in LGBTQ-Inclusive Healthcare Accessibility for other major insurance providers?

Over the last 10 months, I wrote about: -How I had to hide my first pregnancy for 6 months. This experience inspired us to create "corduroy," a free #businessdevelopment coaching program for lawyers taking parental leave. -Offering a free laugh with a latte on my 38th birthday to connect with people and show that networking can be small gestures. -Providing my LinkedIn account as a safe space for anyone in the LGBTQ+ community to share their experience, or that I would post on their behalf, aligning our company ethos so that every voice is heard. -The impossible struggle of working while #parenting during COVID and how I'll never go back to hiding myself. This created a massive catalyst to help people who want to do things differently in the #legal industry. -I vehemently disagreed with a post advising women #lawyers to hide everything about themselves to get into a law firm. These posts are also the ones that resonated most with people. I write about authenticity because when you put your true self out there, everything changes (feels pretty good and sometimes terrifying). What would you write about if you weren't afraid?
