FITW Webinar with Nicky Aiken MP and Autotrader

In this webinar we focused on juggling working life whilst going through fertility struggles. We heard from Nickie Aiken MP about her ground-breaking bill currently working through parliament calling for reform to allow leave for fertility appointments. We heard from Auto Trader, one of Fertility Networks long standing partnerships about why this issue matters and the work they have done to support their teams. And the session was chaired by Fertility Network’s Anya Sizer who leads the workplace initiative here at the charity.

Anya will share insights into how fertility challenges can impact one’s performance and wellbeing in the workplace.

Employment issues factsheet

Deciding whether to tell your employer you are having fertility treatment is difficult but asking for time off for fertility treatment can feel totally impossible. Although there is no statutory right to time off, there are ways you can approach your employer. Many employers do now have policies to support staff who need to take time off, and others have implemented policies after they have been approached by an employee. This page will give you advice and information you can use to approach your employer. You can also contact our regional staff for more support.

“Fertility Network’s series of insightful talks raised both awareness & generated meaningful conversations among colleagues; feedback is overwhelmingly positive”
