New and Expectant Mothers at Work Training Reviews

The course was good in terms of providing an overview of maternity rights and employers' obligations. But there was quite a bit of time spent on giving advice to women who are pregnant (ie stay hydrated, take 30 min breaks) that wasn't relevant to the course. Some of the advice was so basic it bordered on silly – as in "mobile phones can be helpful" in allowing a pregnant woman to call for help when working alone. In short, the course, whose primary objective is to provide information about pregnant women's rights in the workplace and an employer's responsibility and obligations, could have been shorter. There are plenty of other resources out there for women who are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant to consult with regards to dealing with the physical and emotional effects of pregnancy.

While this session was very thorough in subject matter, I don’t think as a U.S. male employee that this amount of material was necessary to convey the basics of women’s maternity rights and pregnancy conditions.

This is good course for all individuals to be made aware off. This would give a better understanding of all different accepts of New and Expectant Mothers.
