More than two years ago, TD announced it was expanding its family-building benefits. In the U.S. and Canada, that meant offering up to $20,000 in coverage for reproductive treatments, surrogacy and donor costs and adoption costs. These costs extend to IVF, legal services, embryo storage, adoption fees and court costs, and travel and living expenses for parents going through the adoption process.
Since enhancing these offerings, TD has seen an increase in the utilization of the fertility benefits amongst employees, alongside an appreciation for the company’s support.
And they’ve helped draw attention to the organization, says Susy Michor, vice president of global recognition, retirement, benefits and well-being, human resources at TD, “in terms of being an organization that has a very strong employee value proposition, a very strong culture of care and ensuring that we’re inclusive and want to support the diverse needs of our colleagues.”
