Why Fertility Benefits that Cover All Genders are a Must-Have for 2022 (Thought Leadership Spotlight)

Conversations around fertility benefits usually focus on addressing female infertility. And while that is a critical piece of the puzzle, people of all genders need support from fertility and family-forming resources. For around 30% of different-sex couples experiencing infertility, male-factor issues are the primary cause. Trans and non-binary people may have specific fertility needs but struggle to find physicians with the right experience. And fertility knowledge and support are important throughout life — not just in someone’s reproductive years. In this session, we’ll discuss how your company can provide inclusive fertility benefits that cover all genders — and ages — in 2022.

Kirsten Ferro, associate VP of sales, Carrot Fertility

Motivate and Engage Employees with Gamification to Drive More Effective Training (Workshop and live Jeopardy!® Game)

According to a survey done by Amdocs in August 2021, nearly two thirds of the employees surveyed said they’d leave their job due to lack of training and growth opportunities. In order to retain employees and reduce turn-over, training is extremely important. Gamification elements such as points, reward, badges, prizes and leaderboards have been proven to tap into your employees’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Join this session to learn how to add gamification to your training strategy so that your team retains more of the training content, feels more empowered and appreciated.

At the end of the session, we'll play a live multiplayer JEOPARDY!® game. All you’ll need is a computer, tablet, or phone and an internet browser to play the game. Chrome is the recommended browser but Edge, Firefox, Safari, and Opera are also fine. Internet Explorer is not supported.
