Are you doing enough to keep pregnant women & new moms from leaving your district?
Did you know that ~43% of mothers leave the workforce at some point?*
Especially in the last few years, teachers with children have been leaving their districts in droves. As you know, it can be very costly and time consuming to be constantly recruiting new, high-quality teachers!
Wouldn’t it make sense to do everything you can to keep the educators you already have?
Research shows that when new moms feel valued by their school leaders, they’re much more likely to stay in the workforce. With the right support, teachers can survive and even thrive in those first few years of being a new mom.
However, it’s not just about keeping your teachers happy.
With the passage of the new Pregnant Workers Fairness Act and the PUMP Act, by law, you must accommodate pregnant and breastfeeding employees.
But do you know exactly what this new legislation requires of you?
If not, you could be opening up your district to potential lawsuits.
That’s why I’ve developed a few resources to help you support your pregnant and postpartum teachers AND fulfill your legal obligations.
Through these courses & workshops, you can learn:
- Everything you need to know about the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act & the PUMP Act
