Postpartum recovery comes with uncertainties, whether after a natural delivery or cesarean birth. Beyond the initial month of postnatal massages, new mothers often find themselves on a solitary path of discovery, grappling with the demands of breastfeeding and work commitments. Amidst discomfort from traditional binders and the constraints of this transformative period, Lazywaist emerges as a supportive solution with its targeted recovery shapewear that provides compression support at the flexible schedules of busy moms.&nbsp;

Recommended by gynaecologists for post-birth shaping&nbsp;

Postpartum recovery spans a year, with the initial six months being particularly vital. While aesthetics is the key motivation for many, Lazywaist recognises the fundamental need for structural support during this phase. The exploration undertaken by Lazywaist to address the gap in postpartum care is rooted in an extensive research and development process: involving engagement with gynaecologists for insights into specific areas of concern and recovery requisites for new mothers, including support for c-section incision wounds and weakened abdominal muscles.&nbsp;

Compression Shapewear: "The Slim" targets the lower body

Compression Shapewear: "The Sculpt" targets the arms

For new mothers who've undergone C-sections, a hypoallergenic, allergen-free, and post-surgery suitable solution is essential. Through meticulous rounds of testing and exploration, Lazywaist's compression shapewear ("The Slim" and "The Sculpt”) integrates a medically graded material in Korea used by plastic surgeons for post-liposuction compression. In tandem, expert consultations guided the brand towards identifying the optimal compression level of 35 mmHg for effective recovery. With a carefully crafted construction, the shapewear discreetly prevents stitch lines from coming into direct contact with the body’s incision wound spot, enhancing overall wearability and minimising discomfort. The result is shapewear that not only delivers but enhances the experience of postpartum recovery. The shapewear also employs high-quality nylon with antibacterial properties for long-term wear.&nbsp;

Personalised to fit your lifestyle&nbsp;

Embracing each new mother’s unique journey, Lazywaist emphasises yet another importance of finding shapewear that fits your natural size, rather than shopping for an idealised one. Hence, a home fitting session and an 8-week progressive regime are offered in its postpartum bundles. This comprehensive package includes “The Slim” which targets the lower body, supporting thighs, hips, and calves as well as its signature waist trainers (“The Shape” and “The Fix”) targeting the midsection, focusing on the waist, tummy, and pelvic support for new mothers as they attend to their baby's needs throughout the day.

Co-Founder Jas Chua's motivation is deeply rooted in supporting new mothers beyond aesthetics. "Our brand is about being a help to mommies. Through extensive research, collaborative consultations with gynaecologists, and tested materials, along with curated regimes, we aim to guide new mothers with progressive and safe solutions." Jas's personal experience drives Lazywaist's commitment to science-backed solutions and personalised care. The regimes have also undergone rounds of testing to ensure their effectiveness on all body types. This journey of innovation continues, with the launch of a nursing bra and upcoming activewear additions to the postpartum range.&nbsp;

When it comes to waist shaping, it is in fact not exclusive to new mothers; it’s a personal journey for women of all shapes. Just as how braces and retainers gradually transform smiles, Lazywaist’s waist trainers progressively and safely help with inch loss. It starts with “The Shape”, a signature 9-steel-boned shaper to hold and secure your waist as you gradually drop the hook sizes. Once you have achieved your desired waist shape, “The Fix” is the retainer. Crafted from nylon and neoprene, this dual-layered zipper shapewear has no steel bones, making it ideal for body conditioning and workouts, acting as a sweat booster.&nbsp;

Waist Trainers: "The Shape" at the top and "The Fix" at the bottom

Designed for new mothers and Asian bodies, the Postpartum Bundles, Nursing bra and signature waist trainers are available on www.lazywaist.com and Mothercare Paragon from now until 31 October 2023.&nbsp;

A pandemic-prompted change in working practices has brought about progress for women in senior leadership, according to&nbsp;Grant Thornton's&nbsp;2023 International Business Report (IBR) research into women in&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;mid-market businesses.

Progress on the overall proportion of women in senior leadership rises decisively in&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;and in&nbsp;Southeast Asia, climbing ahead of other markets globally. In&nbsp;Singapore, the 2023 report found that the proportion of women in senior management spiked to 39 per cent, up eight points from 32 per cent in 2022. This figure was based on a three-year moving average, a simple average of the current year and the last two years results.

In&nbsp;Southeast Asia, mid-market businesses also reflected the same proportion of women in senior leadership in the three-year moving average at 39 per cent, ahead of the global 32 per cent.

Belinda Tan, Head of Forensic Advisory at Grant Thornton Singapore&nbsp;says, "This continuous push for greater diversity is moving in tandem with Regulators' advocacy as well as the emphasis on environmental, social and governance."

The research shows that many mid-market businesses have focused on succession planning to get more women into senior leadership positions, including implementing programmes for wellbeing, mentoring, coaching, and leadership development. In&nbsp;Singapore, the top measure to attract and retain a strong pipeline of future leaders was to focus on implementing strong wellbeing training and support programmes, at 34 per cent.

With 29 per cent of&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;senior executives finding that clarity and equal opportunity will be a key measure to build the pipeline, businesses must focus their attention on developing more transparent pathways to leadership and more transparency across recruitment, promotions, and performance.

"As leaders, we must stand for clarity and equal opportunity around leadership roles, from recruitment to performance reviews," says&nbsp;David Sandison, Practice Leader at Grant Thornton Singapore. "This will greatly support individuals who are striving towards leadership roles and builds shared understanding and expectations across the organisation."

Additionally, a significant boost to the number of women in leadership roles will come from more businesses committing to flexible working and developing the right organisational culture to support it.&nbsp;Grant Thornton's research has found that flexible, hybrid and home-based models have the highest levels of women in senior leadership roles.

Across the world, in mid-market businesses that have adopted a hybrid way of working, 34 per cent of senior leaders are women, while in businesses that are fully flexible where staff choose how they work, it's 36 per cent. Just 29 per cent of senior management is female in mid-market businesses globally with predominantly office-based models.

This finding aligns with the actions that one in two mid-market businesses are taking in&nbsp;Singapore. The top action to engage employees in the last 12 months was to promote work-life balance and flexibility for employees (49 per cent), followed by creating the right environments with open-door policies (40 per cent) and a culture of 'speaking up' (39 per cent).

"While research has shown that diverse teams perform better, teams do not reap the benefits of diversity if those with differing views stay silent," says&nbsp;Belinda Tan, Head of Forensic Advisory at Grant Thornton Singapore.&nbsp;"That's why creating a psychologically safe environment is critical. When staff members feel safe to share ideas, ask for help, give and take feedback, they will not only benefit the team, they will also be better supported to achieve their potential."

This study is conducted as part of&nbsp;Grant Thornton's&nbsp;International Business Report (IBR), a survey of mid-market businesses. Launched in 1992, the IBR now provides insight into the views and expectations of more than 10,000 businesses across 28 economies.

Questionnaires are translated into local languages and fieldwork is undertaken on a biannual basis, through both online and telephone interviews. The data for this release is from close to 5,000 interviews conducted in October to&nbsp;December 2022&nbsp;with chief executive officers, managing directors, chairperson or other senior executives from all industry sectors.

The sample includes responses from 108 senior executives in mid-market businesses in&nbsp;Singapore. For the&nbsp;Singapore&nbsp;sample, mid-market businesses have been defined as businesses that employ between 50-499 employees.

Moving averages are simple averages of the current year and the last two years results.
