Women’s Health Matters: A Workplace Priority
Women face numerous reproductive health challenges throughout their lives, including:

- Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
- Endometriosis
- Infertility
- Uterine fibroids
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
- Reproductive cancers
- Pregnancy complications
- Menopause-related issues

The Impact On The Workplace
If left unaddressed, these health issues can lead to increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, and even higher turnover rates. However, by prioritising women’s health, companies can unlock significant benefits.
According to a 2024 report by the National Institute of Health, workplaces that offer comprehensive gynecologic care see a 30% reduction in work-related stress and a 25% boost in job satisfaction.
Action Plan For People Leaders: 5 Steps for Empowering Change
1. Inclusive Benefits for All
Ensure your health coverage is comprehensive and includes a wide range of reproductive and sexual health services, catering to the diverse needs of women. (E.g. menopause insurance, fertility insurance).
2. Access to Experts
Facilitate access to gynecologists and other women’s health specialists, both in-person and through virtual consultations, making expert care easily available.
3. Knowledge is Power
Equip your employees with the resources and knowledge they need to understand their health options and treatments, empowering them to make informed decisions.
4. Privacy as a Pillar
Implement and uphold policies that guarantee the confidentiality of employees seeking help for sensitive health issues, reinforcing trust within the workplace.
5. A Culture of Support
Train your leadership team to approach women’s health with empathy and understanding. Encourage flexible work arrangements that accommodate the unique needs of women, creating an environment where they can thrive.
