Most multinational employers in Asia weigh two options for fertility and menopause benefits: a global platform built in the United States, such as Maven Clinic or Carrot Fertility, or a partner built for Asia. Both can be the right choice. This page sets out where each is strongest so you can decide.
At a glance
| Global platforms (e.g. Maven, Carrot) | Zora Health | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Large multinationals wanting one programme in every country | Employers with significant teams in Asia |
| Coverage | Very wide. Carrot states support in more than 195 countries. | Focused. 128+ partner clinics in 16 countries. |
| Local rules | One global design adapted country by country | Designed around Asian rules, such as Singapore’s egg freezing age limits, Hong Kong’s storage rules and Malaysia’s fatwa on elective egg freezing |
| Menopause | Offered as part of broader women’s and family health programmes | A core focus, with Asia-specific education and specialist access |
| Cultural fit | Varies by market | Built around family-planning norms, stigma and faith considerations common in Asia |
When a global platform makes sense
- Your workforce is spread across many regions and you need one contract, one benefit design and one report.
- Your headquarters already runs one of these programmes in the US or Europe and wants consistency.
When an Asia-built partner makes sense
- Most of the employees you want to support are in Asia, and you want guidance that reflects local law, clinics and costs.
- Menopause matters as much as fertility to your workforce.
- You want employees to feel the programme was made for them, not translated for them.
You can also combine them
Some employers keep a global platform for headquarters and add Zora Health for their Asian teams, where local navigation and menopause support add the most value.
Questions to ask any provider
Whichever route you take, these questions separate a programme employees will use from one that sits unused.
- Which countries and clinics can our employees actually use, and in which languages?
- How does the programme handle local rules, such as Singapore’s egg freezing age limits or Hong Kong’s storage rules?
- Is menopause support included, or only fertility?
- What exactly does HR see? Ask for a sample report.
- Where is employee health data stored, and under which laws?
- What do employees pay themselves, and how are costs reimbursed?
- How long does rollout take, and what does the launch include?
- What uptake do similar employers see in the first year?
