Fertility support for employees

Polly

Moderator note: new CIPD report available. See below.

Does anyone have a formal IVF policy or time off for IVF interwoven in an existing policy? I'd really like to have one so that people know this is something they can expect support and some extra paid time off for, and I think that signposting it formally would help.

  • Yes we have added fertility support for all employees regardless of their involvement (so that it includes same sex couples and surrogacy) we provide 3 days leave for treatment per annum. I added it to our leave policy that details all the various types of leave. I sold it to the CEO by saying the take up wont be huge but the support we are showing will really resonate with many people. One of our senior team is on a fertility journey and kindly did a video about how he and his wife are coping. Hope that helps.
