You are the VP for HR and Maria asks you if there are any policies that could be put into place to protect pregnant employees. Which of the following is the most correct advice you could give her? Group of answer choices Employers should consider whether adverse effects extend to men, and if they do, should provide protections for the men too. Fetal protection policies should never be applied to men in the workplace. Fetal protection policies are policies adopted by an employer that limit or prohibit employees from performing certain jobs or working in certain areas of the workplace because of the potential harm presented to pregnant employees, their fetuses, or the reproductive system or capacity of employees.
