Benefits to support maternity journeys
Your employees want benefits that provide comprehensive support for themselves and their families, including when they're ready to welcome a new bundle of joy. From fertility and family-planning support to longer paid leave and mental health resources, their needs have evolved. Now, you can give them that and get support for yourself along the way, too.

With Guardian, you can surround employees with support and intuitively designed benefits for their mental, physical, and financial well-being at each stage of their maternity journey.
And when you outsource your leave management with us, we can help ensure you're both compliant with local/federal leave laws and your people are receiving all the benefits they're entitled to.

88% of employees say they'd consider changing jobs for access to fertility benefits.¹

Less stress for the new parent, fewer questions for your HR team.

Where employees can access support
For employees, understanding how the benefits you provide can really support them during different life events can sometimes be difficult. That's why we've created multiple channels to help them understand and use their benefits to the fullest.
