In 2023, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that around 17.5% of the adult population experiences infertility. Accessibility, cultural considerations, and legal restrictions can complicate the issue of extending fertility care benefits to international employees. That’s why it’s essential for HR leaders to partner with a fertility benefits vendor that understands the nuances of global fertility and family-building services.
Fertility care is no longer “nice to have”
Carrot’s Fertility at Work report found that — regardless of geographic location — many employees are facing fertility challenges and seeking support from their employers. Also, 42% of respondents said that a new job offer with no fertility benefits would be a “deal breaker.” As these trends continue, employers must consider comprehensive fertility care essential. And it turns out, these benefits can also lower overall healthcare spending.
How to ensure your fertility benefits serve a global workforce
Make sure your benefits provider offers these features for global teams:
- Language support for more seamless inclusion and less information lost in
- An inclusive network of well-vetted global providers that align with local cultural and language preferences.
- Cross-border care to help employees understand and navigate international regulations and policies related to family building.
