Our blog for all those, who want to learn more about fertility matters at work: how fertility, miscarriage and childlessness-not-by-choice impact your employees at work, and how companies can support their employees during this difficult life stage.
Many people only start looking more closely at their fertility once they are actively trying to conceive or when pregnancy does not happen as quickly as expected. Yet certain hormone levels can provide early insights into how the menstrual cycle is functioning and how ovarian function may be assessed.
Many women experience physical and emotional changes around menopause that can develop gradually. Sleep problems, hot flushes, mood changes, cycle irregularities or difficulty concentrating are often endured for a long time or not immediately linked to hormonal changes.
Many men only start thinking about their health once symptoms become noticeable. Yet hormonal changes can develop gradually and often go unnoticed for a long time. Especially from midlife onwards, it can be helpful to keep an eye on important blood values.
The holidays are often seen as a time of rest, joy and reflection. At the same time, however, they can also be emotionally challenging – especially for people who already face stress, high pressure or personal worries in their everyday working lives. Pressure to meet expectations, family obligations, loneliness, financial burdens or the end of the financial year at work can lead to mental health suffering at precisely the time when you actually need to relax.
Fertility is part of modern corporate health benefits.
With Onuava Fertility+, companies can offer employees the first supplementary insurance that covers reproductive health. From IVF and ICSI to egg freezing – inclusive, tax-optimised and effective from day one. A benefit that demonstrates care, supports diversity and strengthens employers in the competition for talent.
Irritability, lack of focus and persistent fatigue are often dismissed in men over 45 as natural signs of ageing or job-related stress. Yet in many cases, the underlying cause is hormonal – specifically, a drop in testosterone levels. Known as andropause, this gradual shift affects a growing number of working men, but remains largely absent from workplace health discussions. For organisations committed to prevention and long-term performance, it’s time to take a closer look. Men’s health in the workplace is no longer a niche issue – it’s a matter of productivity, resilience and leadership responsibility.
Too rarely at the doctor’s, too late for preventive care: Men’s health remains a blind spot in many companies. This neglect doesn’t just affect those directly impacted – it also has economic consequences for employers. April, as Testicular Cancer Awareness Month, is the perfect moment to rethink the status quo.
Pregnancy, endometriosis, fertility challenges, and menopause – many female life stages remain invisible in the workplace. Yet they are crucial for health, performance, and career development.

Period pain is normal, right? For millions of women, this is a harsh reality – and a widespread misconception.
