Staff at the Co-op will be able to take paid time off for fertility treatments, under a new policy launched by the retailer.
Co-op’s chief executive, Shirine Khoury-Haq, said that she has gone through the process of fertility treatment herself and wants to create a supportive environment for her employees.
The policy will provide paid leave for staff to attend medical appointments while undergoing fertility treatment, including people using a surrogate.
