Drawing from her background in corporate environments, personal experiences, and a decade-long crusade to lift the workplace taboo around female biology, Garlick breaks down why proactive support is a win for both staff retention and long-term organizational success.
Together, Amanda and Deborah dive into the shifting legal landscape under gender equality action plans, the critical impact of manager training, and simple, impactful workplace modifications.
