Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) Compliance Poster
Let's get real—making workplace adjustments for pregnant workers is something we should have nailed down a long time ago. It's not charity; it's about crafting a retention narrative that reads better than your average corporate spiel. When you prop up your team, they stick with you. It's not rocket science; it's just good business.
Meet your host!

Lauren began her career with HR for Health almost eight years ago as an HR Specialist. She quickly developed an interest in problem-solving through software, eventually becoming the Operations Manager. In this role, she recognized the difficulties of managing employees without the right tools.
Digesting the Laws: PDA & PWFA
Kickstarting our exploration, we have the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA) of 1978. It’s the bedrock of equality, ensuring no discrimination based on pregnancy.
Wait, there's more! The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) steps up to proactively assert the rights of pregnant workers, ensuring the workplace is considerate and flexible.
Understanding Protected Classes
Pregnant employees belong to protected classes and demand our utmost attention and fairness. Let's celebrate diversity and uphold these rights with care and compassion.
Rethinking Leave Policies
Sure, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) hands out unpaid leave, but we can do better. Let's explore those state and local laws providing broader benefits.
Creating a Positive Workspace
Accommodations needn't be a hurdle. Let's redefine job roles and provide flexibility and comfort for our pregnant employees to thrive.
Confidentiality is Key; So is Respect
Pregnancy-related information? It's strictly top secret. Let's create an environment free from discrimination and harassment for our employees to prosper.
Unraveling the Insurance Conundrum
Health insurance complexities? Let's demystify them, knowing that pregnancy-related care is covered and well-understood.
