Recent changes to employment law in the Employment Rights Act 2025 means organisations will need to consider their menopause, women's health, and parental leave policies and workplace support in 2026. We hosted this webinar to help HR managers and people teams understand the upcoming changes to the Employment Rights Act and what it means for women's health equality at work.

We know that workplaces that actively prioritise diversity, openness and inclusivity see greater employee engagement, improved wellbeing and increased retention and workplace satisfaction.

Since 2019 Fertifa has been supporting workplace clients and their employees with Fertility and Family forming challenges, pregnancy loss, menopause, women's health, maternity leave and more. Watch now to learn how to effectively implement these changes to both remain legally compliant as an employer, and to create a more supportive and inclusive workplace for all your people.
