I'd very much like to bring to your attention a breakfast event brought to you by Tiny Seeds, to launch their Fertility Friendly Workplace Toolkit.  The event will be hosted by BDO in their Windward House offices on Friday 27th September 2024 at 8am.

Tiny Seeds is a local, Jersey-based charity that promotes awareness around fertility struggles and provides support to those facing personal challenges.  Together with High Tide HR Consultancy, they have created a toolkit of resources, including a fertility policy to enable employers to become a fertility-friendly workplace.  This will be a free resource, which also provides employers the opportunity to become accredited as a ‘Fertility Friendly Workplace’.

We are very lucky that the launch will include a keynote from Becky Kearns, CEO and Co-Founder of the UK organisation Fertility Matters at Work followed by a panel discussion with Chloe Fosse - CEO Tiny Seeds, Melanie Grandfield - Founder High Tide HR Consultancy, Will Austin Vautier - Employment Team, Ogier, and facilitated by Kate Wright - Co-Founder of the Diversity Network

I hope you can attend this insightful event, I have certainly learnt so much about fertility struggles and the positive impact a supportive employer can have through my involvement with this piece of work.

You can book a place here.  Please come along to learn more about how employers can support their colleagues if they are experiencing fertility issues, you’d be surprised at the number of small adjustments you can introduce which make a real difference.

This event has been made possible by the generosity of Tiny Seeds’ workplace partner for 2024, Jersey Electricity.
