#HRGVirtual On-demand | Reproductive health and fertility: The missing piece of the employee health and wellbeing puzzle

At HR Grapevine VIRTUAL: Employee Reward, Benefits & Wellbeing, Hema Wara, Product Director at Fertifa, kicked off session four, highlighting the importance of health and fertility and why this should be high on the agenda for employers and their HR teams. She touched on the fact that fertility had been considered a taboo subject in the workplace, likening it to how mental health was previously perceived.

Having experienced fertility difficulties herself, Wara shared how crucial it is to offer employee support when it comes to this sensitive topic: “We think that reproductive healthcare is that missing piece in the puzzle. I think many employers may think it’s quite a niche area and is it really worthwhile paying attention to this when so few people are impacted.”
