About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of workplace support for employees trying to start a family, featuring insights from various experts.

Parenthood can be a long and challenging journey that starts even before birth - from trying to conceive to balancing work and caregiving. So how should workplaces support employees who are trying to start a family? Nat Fetalvero speaks to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office Indranee Rajah, Senior Parliamentary Secretary Shawn Huang, and Fertility Support SG president Lin Shumin about why attitudes at work and in society need to shift, and how fertility literacy and flexible work arrangements can better support parents-to-be.
