Vodafone gains ‘Fertility Friendly’ employer status
This recognition came from Fertility Matters at Work (FMAT), which helps companies understand and support staff facing fertility issues.
Vodafone has become the first UK telecoms firm to be named a ‘Fertility Friendly Accredited’ employer.
This recognition came from Fertility Matters at Work (FMAT), which helps companies understand and support staff facing fertility issues.
Earlier this year, Vodafone started ‘Fertility Friends’ – an online group where staff can swap stories and advice about fertility.
The firm also launched a Fertility Support Hub, offering information and guidance for anyone dealing with fertility matters. Employees have access to ‘Fertility Buddies’, a confidential peer support network.
Becky Kearns, CEO at FMAT, said: “The dedication from the team was clear throughout, with so much hard work put into developing both employee and manager support pathways.”
