Whether someone is trying to conceive, going through investigations or having treatment, fertility challenges can bring physical symptoms, appointments and side effects, often fitted around a working day. Alongside that comes uncertainty, stress and, for some, loss. CIPD research found almost 1 in 5 employees with experience of fertility challenges had considered leaving their job because of their experience at work.

Fertility benefits are often built around treatment like IVF and egg freezing, and investigations often start with women. Yet male factor infertility contributes to around half of cases. When male fertility is overlooked, women can end up carrying a disproportionate share of the burden, and men miss out on access to screening and support. Proactive healthcare for both men and women is one way employers can help ease the stress of fertility challenges.

Fertility challenges are hard to talk about at work. CIPD research found almost half (47%) of employees experiencing fertility challenges didn’t tell their manager or HR, with 26% worried about the impact on their career. When people don’t feel able to speak up, they may manage appointments, treatment and uncertainty on their own. Visible, well-communicated support can make it easier to ask for help.

A benefit is only as good as the people they support, and the culture it creates. See how opening up conversations around menopause and hormonal health has transformed the sense of safety and openness within the JC Decaux team.

Fatigue, anxiety, and pain were the top reported symptoms among JC Decaux’s female workforce. At Hertility, 74% of employees who report symptoms go on to receive a new diagnosis. By partnering with us to uncover these health insights, JC Decaux moved from reactive care to proactive wellness. Armed with this data, they introduced new targeted policies and enhanced their mental health first aid programme, boosting employee wellbeing, engagement, and retention.
