Singles and LGBTQ+ couples who want to start a family deserve recognition too. Therefore, offering or giving workers access to services such as IVF, infertility diagnosis, donor sperm or eggs, adoption, intrauterine insemination (IUI), etc. creates an inclusive perk for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Healthcare benefits also play a part in fertility health. For example, fertility hormones play an important role in regulating other health issues, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), irregular menstruation, insulin resistance, and diabetes. Henceforth, fertility benefits should not be limited to getting pregnant or starting a family. It needs to focus on fertility health as a much broader concept.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;15px||15px||true|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#474747&#8243; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.1em&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span><span class=\"TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange SCXW121644326 BCX0\"><span data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW121644326 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SpellingErrorV2Themed SCXW121644326 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 2\">Why should organizations implement fertility benefits?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.1em&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-omeev-79elbk h-full dark:bg-gray-800\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-omeev-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm dark:bg-gray-800\">\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"flex p-4 gap-4 text-base md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.get-carrot.com\/fertility-at-work\"><span>report<\/span><\/a> by Carrot Fertility and Resolve reveals that 89% of respondents said that fertility and family-forming has had a negative impact on their mental wellbeing.

Fertility benefits would likely do the same.<\/p>\n<p>The proof is in the pudding. In 2019, LinkedIn introduced their employee fertility program, as a result of a survey where workers revealed that LinkedIn&#8217;s workplace policies weren&#8217;t meeting their needs, particularly for those who want to start a family. Since then, LinkedIn has reported that the fertility benefit has improved employee well-being and cultural cohesion, as well as employee retention and attraction.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Katherine Gilbert, LinkedIn\u2019s senior director of compensation and benefits in EMEA and Latin America, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.raconteur.net\/talent-culture\/how-linkedins-fertility-benefits-became-a-usp-for-talent-attraction\">reveals<\/a>: \u201cWhen new employees join LinkedIn and learn about the fertility benefit during induction, it\u2019s a \u2018wow\u2019 moment for them.

Organizations that want to attract and retain talent, and boost staff well-being and loyalty must take note.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;90%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;15px||15px||true|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=&#8221;3_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.1em&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;6px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;6px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2><span><span data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-GB\" lang=\"EN-GB\" class=\"TextRun SCXW138465311 BCX0\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW138465311 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 1\">Final thoughts<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=&#8221;dt-first-paragraph&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;1.1em&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;|600|||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;36px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.2em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#0A0A0A&#8221; header_4_font_size=&#8221;21px&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;27px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-1 overflow-hidden\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-omeev-79elbk h-full dark:bg-gray-800\">\n<div class=\"react-scroll-to-bottom--css-omeev-1n7m0yu\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-col text-sm dark:bg-gray-800\">\n<div class=\"group w-full text-gray-800 dark:text-gray-100 border-b border-black\/10 dark:border-gray-900\/50 bg-gray-50 dark:bg-[#444654]\">\n<div class=\"flex p-4 gap-4 text-base md:gap-6 md:max-w-2xl lg:max-w-xl xl:max-w-3xl md:py-6 lg:px-0 m-auto\">\n<div class=\"relative flex w-[calc(100%-50px)] flex-col gap-1 md:gap-3 lg:w-[calc(100%-115px)]\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-grow flex-col gap-3\">\n<div class=\"min-h-[20px] flex flex-col items-start gap-4 whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\n<div class=\"markdown prose w-full break-words dark:prose-invert light\">\n<p>Fertility issues or fertility health can affect anyone in the workplace. For years, organizations have been putting a lot of focus on diversity and inclusion, but they&#8217;ve been largely unaware of what they can offer in regards to support in this aspect.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you go from here? Firstly, it&#8217;s important to start a conversation. Talk to your workers and find out if this is something they desire or need. Once you identify the kind of fertility benefits\/support your workers want, it&#8217;s time to start taking steps toward implementation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_4&#8243;
