Supporting Employees Experiencing Fertility Problems or Pregnancy Loss

Supporting Employees Experiencing Fertility Problems or Pregnancy Loss

What Are the Reasons Behind the Issue’s Rise to Prominence?

Employees experiencing fertility problems or pregnancy loss want to stay committed to treatment. Unfortunately, frequent appointments result in burnout and depression. These two hinder the employees from giving their best and make them lose grip of new opportunities. Fertility problems or pregnancy loss also forces employees to hold back on their careers. Because the treatmentsfill them with the hope to join the parenthood, most of them quit stressful positions and let go of new opportunities.

Which Businesses Are Leading the Way in Terms of Employee Support and Benefits in This Area?

Pink Elephants, ASOS, and Kellogg’s are among the few businesses that have offered to support employees experiencing fertility problems or pregnancy loss. We are hoping more bussineses will join the movement to help their employees overcome the highs and lows surrounding the fertility treatment. Once a business falls into the list of family-friendly organizations, it can attract and retain talent effortlessly.

I believe that nutrition science is a wonderful helper both for the preventive improvement of health and adjunctive therapy in treatment. My goal is to help people improve their health and well-being without torturing themselves with unnecessary dietary restrictions. I am a supporter of a healthy lifestyle – I play sports, cycle, and swim in the lake all year round. With my work, I have been featured in Vice, Country Living, Harrods magazine, Daily Telegraph, Grazia, Women's Health, and other media outlets.
