Starbucks is offering \u00a0infertility benefits that make working there the opportunity of a lifetime for those struggling to conceive. In vitro fertilization (IVF) can run $15,000 to $20,000 per cycle, putting the treatment out of reach for many Americans, especially considering that it may take several cycles to achieve a pregnancy.<\/p>\n

Reports estimate that nearly 7.5 million women living in the United States have been diagnosed with infertility.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s rare that companies offer employees fertility benefits. So, when employers do offer it, people take notice.<\/p>\n

Shannon Lagulli was one of those people. She discovered that Starbucks provided IVF coverage and treatment medication to its employees, including part-time staff.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think barista, you think an 18-year-old working to go to school, not a 27-year-old woman trying to have a baby,\u201d Lagulli told Anna Werner at CBS2<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now, Lagulli and her husband are parents to newborn twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey [children] will know how they came about,\u201d Lagulli said. \u201cThat if it wasn\u2019t for mommy going to make coffee that they wouldn\u2019t be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Starbucks Chief Partner Officer Lucy Helm, the company is proud of its decision to offer these benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just been part of who we are, that if you work here and you put in the time, you\u2019re going to get the benefits that make you a full partner,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

However, Professor Craig Garthwaite of Northwestern University\u2019s Kellogg School of Management has his own theory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, Starbucks is a for-profit, publicly traded company,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not doing this out of the goodness of their heart. This is part of a cohesive strategy they have for how to attract and retain talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Professor Garthwaite may be right, those struggling to conceive don\u2019t care about a company\u2019s ulterior motives. They want to have a baby, and if employers like Starbucks are offering to help pay for fertility treatments, they\u2019re going to work there.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
