Krystal Wilkinson of Manchester Metropolitan University and Michael Millward explore her research into how fertility treatments impact an employee’s performance. They discuss quotations from Krystal’s research and other researchers to build an appreciation of the challenges involved in a fertility journey. They discuss the benefits for an employee of working in an organisation that has not addressed the needs of people who are undergoing fertility treatments, the importance of improving knowledge about fertility treatments and the management of fertility journeys that do not end successfully.
