Women’s Health in the Workplace Conference
The World Health Organization has highlighted the need for increased investment in women's health, pointing out ongoing disparities in research, treatment, and workplace experiences. In response, the UK Government has introduced a landmark 10-year Women’s Health Strategy aimed at enhancing workplace support.
Women face complex health issues that can significantly impact their professional lives. Conditions such as endometriosis, menopause, and menstrual pain are prevalent, with one in three women in the UK experiencing reproductive or gynaecological health problems.
Employers are encouraged to adopt female-friendly policies and benefits, improve workplace flexibility, and invest in women's health initiatives to better support their female employees.
