Introducing paid leave for fertility treatment

Over 3.5 million people in the UK go through some kind of fertility challenge. One in six couples in the UK experience difficulties conceiving and require treatment to help them get pregnant.*

At M&G, we recognise it can be a long, uncertain road for our colleagues experiencing difficulties conceiving, trying to have or grow a family. We want to be understanding and supportive during these times and put well-being first. Therefore, we’ve introduced paid leave for fertility treatment for colleagues, as part of our Inspiring Families policy.

We provide flexibility and paid time off to use for undergoing investigations, treatment or time to recover from what we know can be an emotionally and physically draining experience. We’ve deliberately not been prescriptive on how much time or how the time is used by an individual as we appreciate each case is different.

It follows on from updates we made in 2022, when we became one of the first employers to implement neonatal leave, well in advance of any legislative requirement to do so, and in 2021 when we added fostering, kinship and early permanence to adopt to our Inspiring Families policy.

Pete O'Rourke

Pete O’Rourke, Interim HR Chief Operating Officer, said:

“I’d like to thank the colleagues who have shared their personal experiences with fertility challenges, which has helped us to understand and develop this important policy update. This is part of our commitment to being a market-leading, inclusive, flexible and family-orientated employer.”
