What Managers Need to Know to Support Breastfeeding Mothers Breastfeeding after returning to work requires effort and commitment, and managers can play a role in helping mothers integrate work and family life. Offering support during pregnancy and the transition back to work can help improve the retention of talented female employees and ensure that they don't have to choose between having children and working. Several studies have indicated that support for lactation at work benefits not only families but employers as well by improving productivity; enhancing the employer's public image; and decreasing absenteeism, health care costs, and employee turnover. |

Staying Optimistic - Conquering Negative Thoughts An average person has between 12,000 and 60,000 thoughts per day, 80 percent of which are negative. These thoughts are part of the survival mechanism in the mind which focuses on more negative details as a form of self-protection. However, it is not the negative thoughts themselves that are the issue, but rather the importance that we give these thoughts that cause the problem. This session allows participants to learn how to gain control over negative thoughts and turn them into neutral or positive ones, helping to conquer unhealthy and unhelpful habits.

Managing & Supporting Employees Experiencing Domestic Abuse The World Health Organization has described domestic abuse as "a global public health problem of epidemic proportions, requiring urgent action." Statistics published by the WHO report that one in three women will experience domestic abuse in their lives. Contrary to the belief of many, employers have a duty of care and crucial role to play in helping staff who are victims of domestic abuse, particularly as domestic abuse is about control, and a workplace may be the one place that an individual would come to where they are on their own and able to gain support and guidance.
