Providing fertility clinics with tools and guidance, to support patients navigating fertility treatments, alongside workplace commitments
1 IN 6 ARE STRUGGLING WITH FERTIILTY CHALLENGES; ALL ARE OF WORKING AGE
Fertility in the Workplace, part of Fertility Network UK, aims to help employers and employees to better navigate the difficulties faced by those trying to juggle workplace commitments alongside fertility treatments, and we believe that fertility clinics can play a significant part in this.
The information pack includes:
- What is the objective of the Clinic Pledge?
- How can clinics help?
At Fertility Network UK we have shown repeatedly that most people experiencing fertility problems are reluctant to speak to their employers. Many struggle to attend appointments and administer mediation in secret, at the cost of their physical and mental wellbeing, in order to keep up appearances at work.
In collaboration with Bourn Hall fertility clinic, providing a clinic’s perspective on this area of need, Fertility in the Workplace have produced a programme and digital toolkit to assist clinics in supporting patients and staff.
What does the Clinic Pledge involve?
Our Clinic Pledge asks clinics to meet 3 key areas of support for patients & employees who are juggling workplace commitments alongside treatments.
- Implement Operational Flexibility
- Provide Patient Workplace Support & Information
- Demonstrate Best Practice as an employer
The team at Fertility in the Workplace will support clinics all the way with implementing these changes.
