Despite many strides in achieving women’s equity, a gender health gap still exists. It’s due to many reasons, ranging from a lack of awareness, to stigmas, to insufficient research on women’s health. This long history of inadequate recognition and support still impacts women today – including in the workplace.
Working women can benefit greatly from targeted health supports. Women’s physiology is different than men’s in many ways. That, combined with other determinants of health, can lead to unique health impacts in several major health areas, such as reproductive, cardiovascular, and mental health.
That’s why we’re helping employers address women’s health needs. Our suite of resources includes research information to help employers understand the issue, and playbooks that outline tangible actions employers can take.
