GBNews published this video item, entitled “Supermarket offers bereavement pay to help staff suffering from a pregnancy loss.” – below is their description.
The Co-op is offering paid leave and time off for medical appointments as part of measures to help staff suffering from a pregnancy loss.
The retail giant said it wanted to support staff affected by a miscarriage, stillbirth, embryo transfer loss, molar pregnancy or termination of pregnancy for any reason.
The new policy, which supports both parents, has been created in partnership with the Miscarriage Association, and includes flexible paid leave, a guide for managers to help offer support, time off for medical appointments and emergency leave for workers if a member of their family suffers a pregnancy loss.
Michelle Dewberry is joined by Ruth Bender Atik, the National Director for the Miscarriage Association, and Ola Pelovangu.
