    For Employers, HR & Occupational Health

    Help Your People Through Fertility Treatment - Without Guesswork.

    Fertility treatment happens in working hours. Injections, scans, surgery, hormones - and the worry that goes with all of it.

    We give your employee a short, clinician-built check-in, then turn their answers into a clear summary they can hand to their GP, their occupational health team, or their line manager. They choose what to share. You only ever see anonymous, group-level patterns.

    We don't diagnose or treat. We don't replace HR policy or OH advice. All clinical decisions remain with treating clinicians; all employment decisions remain with HR and management.

    The Evidence

    Why Fertility Treatment Is a Workforce Issue

    Treatment is a clinical event - injections, surgery, hormonal side effects - that lands in working hours. Without an OH lens, it shows up as presenteeism, absence and attrition. OccuFertility translates the clinical picture into structured outputs your GPs, OH teams and line managers can act on.

    Six Things

    What Your Team Gets

    Aggregate Wellbeing Dashboards

    Anonymised, population-level trends - PHQ-4 scores, work ability, and risk distribution - without ever accessing individual data. Dataset gate of 250 contributing users per employer, with k-anonymity of 50 per bucket. Enforced server-side.

    Demonstrate Duty of Care

    Providing an evidence-based resource demonstrates engagement with employee wellbeing and supports your duty of care under UK law.

    Reduce Absence Costs

    Employees with access to structured support and workplace adjustment guidance report better work ability and are more likely to stay in work during treatment.

    Zero Individual Data Access

    Employers never see individual responses, check-in data, or treatment details. Only anonymised aggregates are available - and only above the minimum threshold.

    Clinical Impact Guide

    Signposted treatment stages focused on biological and physical clinical impact - appointments, procedures, typical effects - with navigation by situation. Workplace context included for employers and OH.

    OH Referral Templates

    Personalised occupational health referral templates - phase-specific clinical context, PHQ-4 and WAI scores included - making the referral process more clinically useful.

    How It Works

    From Sign-up to Anonymised Insight

    What happens, in order, when an organisation takes OccuFertility on. It needs no clinician on your payroll and no change to your HR systems.

    1. 1

      Step 1

      Licence and Access Codes

      Your organisation is set up with a licence and a batch of access codes. HR shares them using the ready-written all-staff announcement, manager briefing and four-week reminder in the employer dashboard.
    2. 2

      Step 2

      Employees Sign Up Privately

      Each employee creates their own account with an email address, a password and a code. Nobody at your organisation can see who has signed up.
    3. 3

      Step 3

      Check-Ins Become Documents the Employee Controls

      A short clinician-built check-in (a four-question wellbeing score, a work ability score and work impact) turns into a GP summary, a line manager brief and an occupational health referral. The employee decides whether to share each one, and with whom.
    4. 4

      Step 4

      You See Patterns, Never People

      Once 250 employees have contributed, your dashboard shows anonymised trends: wellbeing risk bands, work ability, engagement and participation against headcount. Any slice with fewer than 50 people is hidden. An aggregate PDF can be exported for board or wellbeing reporting.

    Where It Fits

    Alongside the Support People Already Have

    The Employee

    A private toolkit: stage-by-stage information, scripts for difficult conversations, and documents written from their own check-in.

    Line Managers and HR

    A manager brief the employee chooses to hand over, a referral pathway for when someone discloses, and internal comms templates. No access to health data.

    Occupational Health

    A structured referral with phase-specific context and scores, plus a practitioner checklist. OccuFertility does not replace an OH assessment.

    The GP

    A one-page summary the patient brings to a ten-minute appointment, so the consultation starts with context rather than from scratch.

    The Fertility Clinic

    Clinical care is untouched. OccuFertility is the workplace layer that sits alongside treatment; it never advises on the treatment itself.

    Your EAP or Wellbeing Provider

    Complementary, not competing. An EAP offers counselling; OccuFertility offers the fertility-specific workplace navigation an EAP is not built for.

    Licensed Employer Feature

    HR Referral Pathway

    A short, structured decision-support pathway for HR and line managers when an employee discloses fertility treatment. Three questions, then a clear pathway card covering who to involve, what to ask of an OH referral, and what to do if no OH service is in place.

    • What this kind of situation typically involves
    • Where HR teams usually direct the conversation next
    • Questions an OH referral should be designed to answer
    • Practical fallbacks where no OH service exists

    Available to employers with an active OccuFertility licence. Line managers reach it from the employer dashboard once the organisation is enrolled.
