T E L E C O M M U N I C A T I O N S company GO is introducing paid pregnancy loss leave for its em- ployees, offering women four weeks of paid leave in the event of a pregnancy loss, including stillbirth and failed IVF. "We fully recognise the impact that pregnancy loss can have on our people, and just as we have of- fered the necessary and appropri- ate support in the past, this policy provides a structured offering to our people during such difficult times," said Sarah Mifsud, Chief People Officer at the company. "This is just another step for- ward in providing them the time and space they need to grieve and recover without the added stress of worrying about their financial situation." A miscarriage is the loss of pregnancy before the 23rd week. It is fairly common, with around 10-15% of pregnancies ending in miscarriage. GO's policy is part of its exist- ing well-being programme that supports employees in balancing their work and family life. The company said it is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive workplace, where all employees are valued and supported. The new policy supports the impacted employee but also has measures in place to help the in- dividual transition back to work. GO said the management team is adequately trained to deal with such situations. 52/2023 - 2 May 2023 Flash estimate - April 2023 Euro area annual inflation up to 7.0% Euro area annual inflation is expected to be 7.0% in April 2023, up from 6.9% in March according to a flash estimate from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union.
