As reproductive health is gaining significant recognition in the workplace, employers increasingly acknowledge the importance of comprehensive family-forming benefits, not only for women but for men as well.
Fertility challenges are more common than many realize. Approximately 1 in 6 couples experience difficulties in conceiving and research shows that male factors contribute to nearly 50% of these cases. Despite this, male fertility is often under-discussed and under-tested. Traditional fertility care has largely focused on women, leaving a significant gap in support for men.
To meet this need, ARC Fertility has partnered with Sapyen, a global innovator in at-home male fertility testing to offer an accurate, affordable and convenient fertility testing solution. This partnership represents a significant opportunity for employers to enhance their benefits offerings, addressing a vital but often overlooked aspect of reproductive health.
The Importance of Male Fertility in Family Building
The decline in sperm count over the past 50 years has further highlighted the need for accessible male fertility testing. Early detection of fertility issues can make a significant difference in the options available to couples and individuals hoping to start a family.
By offering male fertility testing as part of an employee benefits package, employers can help ensure that all employees have the resources they need to proactively address their reproductive health.
The ARC Fertility and Sapyen Partnership: A Game-Changer for Male Fertility Testing
ARC Fertility’s partnership with Sapyen introduces a groundbreaking solution for male fertility testing that is both convenient and cost-effective. The Sapyen At-Home Male Fertility Test allows men to conduct a comprehensive, clinical-grade semen analysis without the need to visit a medical facility. This innovative approach addresses one of the biggest barriers to male fertility testing: convenience and privacy.
For many men, the traditional process of fertility testing can be uncomfortable, time-consuming and invasive. The Sapyen Test Kit removes these barriers by offering a private, discreet and accurate testing option that can be completed from the comfort of home. The kit includes a patent-pending sperm stabilization medium, SPX72, which preserves the viability of the semen sample for up to 72 hours, ensuring accurate results.
Priced at just $135 the Sapyen Test Kit is also more affordable than many traditional in-lab tests, making it a viable option for employers looking to offer high-quality benefits without escalating costs. This cost-effective solution aligns with ARC Fertility’s mission to provide accessible, high-value reproductive care to all employees.
Enhancing Employee Satisfaction and Loyalty Through Comprehensive Benefits
Offering male fertility testing as part of your benefits package is not only an important health initiative – it is also a strategic business decision. In fact, 72% of employees would stay at their employer longer if they had access to fertility benefits. Companies that invest in comprehensive reproductive health benefits often see significant returns in terms of employee satisfaction, loyalty and productivity.
In today’s competitive job market, attracting and retaining top talent requires more than just competitive salaries. Employees are increasingly looking for employers who provide meaningful, inclusive benefits that address all aspects of their well-being. By integrating male fertility testing into your benefits offerings, you signal to current and potential employees that you are committed to their holistic health.
Moreover, male fertility testing supports broader corporate goals related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. Providing equitable access to reproductive health services for all employees — regardless of background, gender identity, sexual orientation or relationship status — reinforces your company’s commitment to DEI. Additionally, offering convenient, at-home testing options aligns with ESG principles by reducing the need for travel and clinic visits, thereby minimizing your company’s environmental impact.
Addressing Reproductive Challenges Early to Minimize Costs
One of the key advantages of early fertility testing is the ability to identify and address issues before they escalate. When male infertility is detected early, employees can explore a wider range of treatment options, often at a lower cost. This proactive approach can prevent more costly interventions down the line, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), which is often necessary when fertility issues are not addressed early.
By offering the Sapyen Test Kit through ARC Fertility, employers can help their employees take the crucial first step in understanding their fertility health. This early intervention not only supports employees on their path to parenthood but also contributes to overall cost savings for the company.
A Healthier, Happier Workforce Starts with Inclusive Benefits
As reproductive health continues to be a priority for employees, companies that lead the way in offering comprehensive benefits will stand out as employers of choice. The ARC Fertility and Sapyen partnership offers an innovative, high-quality solution to an often-overlooked aspect of reproductive health. By including male fertility testing in your benefits package, you provide a critical service that can enhance employee well-being, foster loyalty and support your company’s DEI and ESG goals.
Investing in your employees’ reproductive health is an investment in the future of your workforce. With ARC Fertility and Sapyen, you can offer your employees the tools they need to build the family of their dreams, all while strengthening your organization’s commitment to their overall health and well-being.
