Who connects the employee, employer and health professional when work needs to change?
Identifies gaps in company risk assessment and collaboration between employers and clinicians, showing why protection requires usable processes as well as a law.
Study context
French-speaking Swiss obstetrician-gynecologists surveyed about implementing maternity protection.
Age / stage: Clinicians caring for pregnant workers.
Read with three questions
- What implementation barriers did obstetrician-gynecologists report?
- How did preventive leave differ from sick leave in practice?
- How were training and occupational-health collaboration related to implementation patterns?
Keep the limits in view
Clinician self-reports and correlations cannot establish that training improves outcomes; the analysis concerns Swiss arrangements at the source date, not a transferable legal rule.
