Infertility is more common than people think; approximately one in seven couples will experience infertility issues in their lifetime. Despite many employees potentially being impacted, managers are often at a loss when figuring out how to best support their employees. Infertility and miscarriage remain taboo topics, particularly at work, and employees often go without the support they need.

Giving money is a standard answer for businesses trying to support their employees suffering from infertility. Although financial help is essential, it is just as important to offer other support. Some good examples could be giving compassionate emotional support and flexibility in their work schedule. Or even helping find educational resources for infertility that could be shared with the whole company.
