Would you tell your manager?
It’s not an easy decision when you’re already struggling and wondering what might happen if you’re honest.
Our survey key findings show that around 90% experienced stress or anxiety while balancing fertility diagnosis or treatment with work.
Around 63% feared negative consequences at work.
And 70% said it actually had a long-term impact on their career.
And on top of all that, fertility is deeply personal. Sometimes, sharing feels like sharing too much.
So how can we make it easier to be open when people need support without forcing them to disclose intimate information?
