When it comes to fertility benefits, employers need to restructure their perceptions of what employees need and expand the conversation around fertility.
Fertility benefits that include IVF treatments are offered by just 19% of employers, according to the Society for Human Resource Management. Benefits that include fertility treatments other than IVF are offered by 18% of organizations. About 12% of women aged 15 to 44 years of age — regardless of marital status — have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Around 9% of men aged 25 to 44 years report seeking advice or treatment for infertility.
