Fertility Support SG launches workplace guide to better support women undergoing treatment
According to a national survey, 77% of Singaporeans said pursuing fertility treatments come at a cost to their careers. Over a third of workers kept silent about their IVF treatment — worried about stigma, discrimination, or how it might affect their careers. To better support those going through treatments, social advocacy group Fertility Support SG has launched a guidebook for employers. Some recommendations include offering leave during treatment, as well as providing financial and emotional support resources. Caitlin Ng reports.
