Alright HR Professionals - I need your thoughts!
Quick question — how is WGEA reporting tracking for your team this year?
Last year, while completing the report, I had a bit of an epiphany.
Addressing the gender pay gap isn’t just about increasing women’s pay — it’s much deeper than that. It's about understanding what women go through from the moment they enter the workforce to the moment they leave — physically, mentally, and biologically.
And here’s a reality that’s often overlooked:
👉 1 in 4 women experience miscarriage (This doesn’t even include infertility or recurrent loss).
This has a real impact on how women show up at work, something I can speak to personally.
Yet in most workplaces:
- Managers aren’t trained to have these conversations
- People don’t feel safe opening up
- Support is often generic… or non-existent
With miscarriage leave now being introduced into the Fair Work Act, this is no longer something organisations can ignore.
So I decided to take action.
We’ve recently launched Soft Landing - a specialised women’s support program designed to support employees through fertility, miscarriage, and recovery.
👉 Best part for organisations?
It supports both well-being, retention and compliance in general and in the upcoming Workplace Gender Equality reporting.
To be honest, I’ve been really shocked by the response so far (imposter syndrome alert!).
I’m currently offering a 3-month free trial to a small number of organisations to see if they want to add this to their EVP.
If this feels relevant for your team, let's chat.
Also, genuinely curious:
👉 What initiatives are you seeing (or implementing) to better support women in the workplace?
