Clariane’s Post

Navigating the workplace can be a journey filled with challenges. Just a reminder: ‘HR is NOT your friend.’ They’re there to protect the company, not always you. Remember to cover your bases, document everything, and speak up—even when your voice trembles. Your perspective matters! Build a network of allies you can truly trust, and don’t hesitate to advocate for yourself. Stay resilient and keep pushing forward, even when the path gets tough. Trust in your abilities, know your worth, and never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. I am Bianca R. Pérez, a Latina woman with tattoos, and I am proud to be a Physician Associate. I challenge traditional norms and bring a fresh perspective to the field of medicine. Together, let us celebrate our differences and work towards a more inclusive and compassionate healthcare system. ✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 ———————————— #WorkplaceReality #EmpowerYourself #KnowYourWorth #StandYourGround #PhysicianAssociate #PhysicianAssistant #womeninmalefields #womenofmedicine #explore #womeninmaledominatedfields #WorkplaceCulture #HR #Diversity #NotLikeUs

How we created a Men’s Health Policy at Fertifa—and how you can too!  Let’s be honest: writing policies isn’t always the most glamorous task.  But when you know it’s going to make a meaningful difference, it can actually be a lot of fun! To create our Men’s Health Policy, we held a focus group with the Fertifa men—a session filled with laughter, honesty, and powerful insights.  💡 Here’s what we learned during the process:  → Early involvement is key.  The earlier you seek input, the better. For example, the Fertifa men provided invaluable feedback on the number of leave days they felt was fair, based on their own experiences.  → Set clear goals and objectives.  Everyone’s busy—so make sure your ERG or focus group understands the purpose of their input and how their insights will shape the final policy.  → Psychological safety matters.  We heard candid and heartfelt stories during our session because we worked to create a judgment-free zone. Honest conversations lead to policies that genuinely drive change.  → Inclusion and diversity are non-negotiable.  We quickly realized the initial policy draft was written by women—so it was crucial to involve men in the ERG to bring lived experiences to the table. Equally, diversity in race, disabilities, and cultural backgrounds enriches the outcome.  → Close the feedback loop.  Don’t let the conversation end with one meeting. Keep your group updated on policy iterations, explain what’s been implemented (or not), and the rationale behind those decisions. It keeps engagement high and fosters trust.  🎯 Why ERGs and focus groups are game-changers  Integrating Employee Resource Groups into your policy creation process helps uncover blind spots, ensures inclusivity, and bridges the gap between what sounds good in theory and what actually works in practice.  This was an incredibly rewarding journey—and we’d love to hear your tips and experiences with policy creation! Let’s keep learning from each other.  ️️️We’re thrilled to share our policy with you—free to download here: https://hubs.li/Q02Z27Lq0  #HR #Policies #ReproductiveHealth #MensHealth

🌟 Navigating Difficult Health Conversations at Work: A Personal Journey 🌟 Have you ever found yourself hesitating to discuss a health challenge with your employer or colleagues? You're not alone. As someone who has faced the daunting reality of cancer, I understand firsthand the complexities of these conversations. It's not just about the words spoken; it's about the courage to speak them. At Elevation Occ Psy, we believe that every workplace should be a safe space for open dialogue about health. 🔔 Coming Soon - Our 'Difficult Conversations at Work' training is designed to empower individuals and organisations to navigate these discussions with empathy and understanding. But why does this matter? Because every conversation is a step towards inclusivity and respect. It's about breaking down barriers and building bridges. It's about ensuring that no one feels isolated or unsupported because of a health condition. As I reflect on my journey, I am reminded of the power of advocacy and the importance of creating environments where everyone feels valued. This mission drives our work every day, from developing inclusive HR policies to conducting engaging workshops. Let's continue to champion these conversations and create workplaces where everyone feels empowered to share their story. Together, we can make a difference. 💪 #InclusiveWorkplaces #HealthAdvocacy #EmpoweredVoices #ElevationOccPsy
