Assisted Reproduction
What is Assisted Reproduction?
Assisted reproduction refers to medical treatments and procedures used to help individuals and couples conceive children. This can include treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), egg and sperm donation and freezing, and surrogacy support. These methods address infertility challenges and allow individuals from diverse backgrounds, including single parents and same-sex couples, to achieve parenthood.
Referring to this type of support as assisted reproduction ensures inclusivity across a workforce. For some employees, fertility is not necessarily the area of support, and topics such as biological factors and surrogates or donors become part of the conversation.
Benefits to Employer
Offering assisted reproduction support demonstrates a commitment to supporting employees’ family-building goals, promoting a family-friendly workplace culture. This benefit can help attract and retain talent, particularly in sectors where employees may delay starting families due to career advancement. Providing support for fertility treatments can also improve employee morale and engagement, as employees feel valued and supported during what can be a challenging and stressful time.
Benefits to Employee
Employees gain access to financial assistance for costly fertility treatments, which may otherwise be unattainable for many individuals. Employees receive emotional and practical support through the process, helping them manage the physical, financial, and mental demands of fertility treatments. By providing access to these services, employers help reduce the burden on employees, enabling them to focus on their careers while receiving the help they need to grow their families.
