The UK's total fertility rate has dropped to just 1.41 children per woman, which is the steepest decline of any G7 nation. And while headlines tend to focus on lifestyle choices, the data tells a more complex story. People who want children aren't getting support early enough. Conversations aren't happening. Warning signs are being missed. And by the time people reach specialist care, precious time has already been lost. This is something we see every single day at Peppy. The person who spent months trying to get a GP referral. The couple who didn't know that age affects male fertility too. The woman whose PCOS symptoms were dismissed for years before anyone connected the dots. The report calls for healthcare that "makes every contact count", such as proactive, personalised, human. Not waiting for crisis point. That's exactly what we built Peppy to do. And increasingly, forward-thinking employers are the ones making it happen. If fertility support isn't part of your benefits conversation this year, this is a good place to start. https://lnkd.in/eKraiAFU #FertilitySupport #EmployeeBenefits #WomensHealth #HRLeaders
