WIN Expands Global Family-Building Benefits Beyond Fertility to Cover Every Life Stage

WIN, a provider of fertility and family support benefits, has announced a major expansion of its global platform, extending its services beyond fertility care to cover a broader range of family-building and well-being needs. The enhanced offering is designed to support employees through different stages of life, including family planning, pregnancy, parenting, caregiving, menopause, and healthy aging.

The expanded platform is intended for WIN’s international employer clients and their workforces. According to the company, its global reach has increased from 55 to 124 countries over the past two years, representing a 125% expansion of its international footprint.

The move comes amid growing employer demand for integrated, clinically guided employee benefits that address a wider range of health and family needs.

“As a family support benefit company, a critical part of our mission is to provide our global employer partners with comprehensive support that meets people across the many health and life stages that shape their well-being,” said Roger Shedlin, MD, CEO of WIN.

He noted that people’s health and family journeys often extend beyond the boundaries of individual employee benefit categories. The expanded platform, he added, is intended to help employers provide support across different life stages and geographical markets through clinical expertise, local guidance and digital services.

WIN Global Family-Building Benefits Address Growing International Demand

The expansion reflects the increasing recognition that fertility and family-related support are important components of employee well-being.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately one in six people worldwide experience infertility during their lifetime. This highlights the need for accessible fertility information, treatment and support.

At the same time, economic pressures, evolving social expectations and international workforce mobility are changing how people approach family building. Employers are consequently looking beyond conventional healthcare benefits to provide more comprehensive assistance throughout employees’ personal and family journeys.

WIN’s expanded offering brings fertility services together with a wider range of family-building and well-being programmes. The company aims to combine international coverage with support adapted to local healthcare systems, regulations and cultural requirements.

Support for Multinational Workforces

For multinational employers, providing consistent employee benefits across different countries can be challenging. Healthcare systems, regulations, cultural expectations and available treatment options vary considerably between markets.

WIN says its international infrastructure is designed to address these differences through provider networks, payment capabilities, reimbursement assistance and regulatory and compliance expertise.

The platform also offers multilingual content in more than 200 languages, helping employees access relevant information and support in their preferred languages.

Another element of the expanded programme is assistance for neurodivergent employees navigating fertility treatment, family building and parenting. This is intended to help employers make family-related benefits more inclusive and responsive to different employee needs.

Services Covered by WIN’s Expanded Global Platform

The expanded platform covers several areas of family health and well-being, extending beyond conventional fertility benefits.

1. Family Building

Services include pre-conception information, education and guidance, fertility treatment and medications, fertility preservation, adoption, surrogacy and donor services.

2. Maternity Support

The maternity offering covers prenatal guidance, high-risk pregnancy support, doula services, lactation assistance, nutrition and support following pregnancy loss.

3. Parenting Resources

Employees can access resources covering child development, parenting coaching, behavioural health and educational support.

4. Menopause and Healthy Aging

The platform also addresses health needs associated with different stages of aging. Its services include support for menopause and perimenopause, andropause, behavioural health and nutrition.

5. Caregiving Assistance

Caregiving resources include childcare information, elder care support, family coaching and services focused on caregiver well-being.

By bringing these areas together, WIN aims to provide employers with a broader benefits framework that can support employees through different personal and family circumstances.

Nearly Three Decades of Clinical Experience Supporting Global Expansion

WIN says its expanded international offering builds on nearly 30 years of experience developing clinical expertise, healthcare provider relationships and operational infrastructure in fertility and family support.

The company is combining this experience with a locally adapted delivery model. This includes regional specialists, local clinical support teams, multilingual communications and alignment with country-specific regulatory requirements.

According to WIN, its network now includes more than 24,000 vetted and highly rated healthcare providers across 124 countries. The network supports localised care pathways, in-country nurse advocacy and resources provided in native languages.

These capabilities are intended to help employees access relevant clinical guidance and navigate healthcare services in their respective markets.

WIN Establishes Global Advisory Board for International Expansion

Alongside the expansion of its benefits platform, WIN has established a Global Advisory Board comprising fertility specialists from countries across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Oceania and Latin America.

The board brings together clinical expertise and perspectives from different international fertility markets. Its role is to inform the company’s ongoing global expansion and the development of its family-building services.

According to WIN, the advisory group’s work will focus on clinical practices, patient requirements and the specific challenges involved in delivering fertility and family support across different geographical markets.

The establishment of the board is part of the company’s effort to ensure that its international offering reflects differences in healthcare environments and patient needs.

A Broader Approach to Employee Family and Well-Being Benefits

WIN’s expansion represents a shift in the scope of its international benefits offering, moving from a primary focus on fertility to a wider model covering family building and well-being throughout life.

For employers with geographically dispersed workforces, the company aims to provide a more coordinated approach to family-related support while retaining localised clinical guidance and resources.

With its reported presence in 124 countries and a provider network exceeding 24,000, WIN is positioning the expanded platform as a comprehensive solution for organisations seeking to address fertility, parenting, caregiving and other family-related needs across their international workforce.
