Channel 4 introduces reproductive health and hormone testing for employees
Channel 4 has partnered with women’s health company Hertility for a six-month trial to offer reproductive health and hormone testing for its employees.
Hertility facilitates access to NHS approved health assessments and blood tests which can screen for reproductive health issues.
The Hormone and Fertility blood test, which is worth £149, can be done at home and highlight the reason why someone could be struggling to conceive, as well as potential hormonal imbalances including polycystic ovaries, endometriosis and onset of the menopause which could affect physical and mental wellbeing.
Once these have been identified, a healthcare plan can be put in place so employees can access the right specialist care.
As part of the partnership, Channel 4 and Hertility will provide a series of educational workshops on different reproductive health issues and hormonal wellbeing.
Alex Mahon, Channel 4’s CEO, said: “We are incredibly proud of this innovative new partnership with Hertility, made possible by the fantastic work of our 4Womxn staff network. Since 2019, Channel 4 has launched Menopause, Pregnancy Loss and Parents and Carers Policies and this latest initiative aligns with our commitment to support women’s health and the wellbeing of all our people.”
