1 IN 6 ARE STRUGGLING WITH FERTILITY CHALLENGES; ALL ARE OF WORKING AGE

Fertility in the Workplace, part of Fertility Network UK, supports employers and employees across Wales to better navigate the challenges of balancing work alongside fertility treatment. If you live or work in Wales and are trying to access fertility treatment, you may be facing difficult conversations at work, whether about time off for appointments, the emotional impact of treatment or concerns about job security. Many people are unsure where to start, or how to explain their situation to an employer who may have little understanding of fertility issues.

We believe that open, informed conversations can make a real difference. That’s why we work with both individuals and organisations in Wales to help create space for supportive, compassionate dialogue around fertility in the workplace.

Support for you and your employer

We can come to your organisation to:

  • Help you understand how to start a conversation with your employer about fertility treatment

  • Support employers to better understand the realities of fertility treatment and its impact at work

  • Encourage a more open, supportive workplace culture where fertility can be discussed safely and sensitively

Our approach is about starting the conversation, breaking down stigma and helping everyone feel more confident talking about fertility at work.

This work in Wales is funded by the Welsh Lottery, enabling us to offer this support to organisations and individuals across the country.

If you are living in Wales and looking for support for yourself or your workplace, we’re here to help you take the first step. Please email the team to begin the discussion teamwales@fertilitynetworkuk.org
