Bodily Autonomy, Reproductive Rights and Company-Sponsored Fertility Benefits: A Call to Action

Abstract

This commentary considers company-sponsored fertility benefits (CSFBs) and their use by organizations. We highlight the lack of attention to these benefits in the gender and management literature. Indeed, despite the importance of the topic very few gender researchers, and even fewer management scholars have deemed the erosion of female reproductive rights and commodification of fertility in the workplace worthy of debate. We, therefore, call on gender researchers, and in particular management scholars to stop sitting on the sideliners.
