Equity in family building benefits depends on whether employees can actually use the support being offered. A practical checklist helps employers identify where policy, eligibility, or access still fall short for different kinds of families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Employers are increasingly prioritizing family-friendly benefits as a way to attract and retain top talent and support diversity and inclusion initiatives at a time when family is a top priority. We expect that companies will support a diverse workforce and a culture of inclusivity with equitable benefits, however, even with the best intentions, fertility and family building benefits can often fall flat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conventional fertility and family building benefits typically discriminate against LGBTQ+ individuals and couples and single parents by choice by requiring a pre-certification or a diagnosis of infertility. This can often be hidden in the fine print. The one-size-fits-all requirements limit access to necessary treatment and fail to acknowledge the many paths to parenthood, discriminating against the members of a workforce who may need it the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Progyny, we believe everyone should have access to the care they need to build their family. We created the Equitable Fertility and Family Building Checklist<\/strong> to help organizations carefully evaluate their current fertility and family building benefits or examine their options. Use it as a guide to ensure that your family building benefits are truly accessible by all members of your workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Enter your email to be sent the Equitable Fertility and Family Building Checklist.<\/p>\n\n\nDownload the Checklist<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
