National Infertility Awareness Week falls on April 21 – April 27 and this year’s theme from RESOLVE is #InfertilityUncovered. In honor of this week, we’re doing a four-part series on what it’s like to truly uncover the world of infertility.
In the third episode in our four-part series, we address the topic of infertility in the workplace. Why, in 2019, are American workplaces still so ineffective in dealing with issues around infertility? That’s the question that Katherine Goldstein, reporter and host of the podcast The Double Shift, asks in her article for Slate titled, “IVF & The Office.”
Katherine has been researching and writing about issues relating to women and the workplace for years now, and when she turned her attention to infertility in the workplace, she found herself with more questions than answers. In this episode Katherine uncovers what she’s learned while researching her article, the advice she has for women, and what workplaces can do to support employees with infertility.
Guest: Katherine Goldstein, Host of The Double Shift podcast
