Hello I’m Liz, MD of Upshot Marketing and I’m working with Thurrock Council’s Public Health Team to explore how local dads can be better included and supported in their journey to fatherhood. As part of this, I’m speaking with prominent local employers to find out what their paternity policies are and what best practice adaptations could be realistically implemented. Some employers are addressing gender equity, parental leave and work-life balance to reflect the importance of fathers’ involvement in a child’s early life – and reaping the rewards of their approach.
It’s not just about money. Workplaces have great potential to provide simple things, like information and signposting for dads to help them prepare for fatherhood.
Please would you spare me 30 minutes of your time to discuss your policies, best practice and how we can all work together in Thurrock to better support dads, families and society. I’ll donate £25 to a charity of your choice to say thank you for your time.
Email liz@upshotmarketing.co.uk to fix a time to speak in the next week or two. Or call me on 01273 500722.
Thank you!
