Women's Health
What is Women's Health?
Women’s health refers to policies, programmes, and resources that support the unique health needs of women in the workplace. This may include support for menstrual health and menopause, as well as information on conditions such as endometriosis and PCOS.
Benefits to Employer
Employers who offer comprehensive women’s health support benefit from a healthier, more productive workforce by ensuring staff are present, engaged, and able to perform their roles effectively. Providing women’s health benefits demonstrates a company’s commitment to employees’ long-term well-being, which can enhance job satisfaction, morale, and loyalty. With challenges such as period pain, menopause, and reproductive health affecting presenteeism and confidence, offering targeted support helps employees feel valued and understood. Additionally, these programs contribute to improving gender equality in the workplace by removing barriers that disproportionately affect women’s professional growth and career progression.
Benefits to Employee
Women’s health support helps reduce the stress and anxiety associated with managing health conditions, enabling employees to remain present, engaged, and productive at work. Access to resources such as medical care, counselling, and workplace adjustments ensures that employees can address health concerns promptly and effectively. Offering flexible policy options, such as time off for period pain, menopause support, or fertility treatments, allows employees to manage their health in a way that best suits their individual circumstances.
