Did you know that women make up 57.6% of the US workforce? As an employer, you can collaborate with your health insurer to support this population through maternal health resources.

For example, mental health is a significant concern when it comes to maternal health, both during pregnancy and afterward. By understanding the full continuum of women’s health in the workplace, employers can empower employees to live healthier lives while also supporting retention efforts.

Approximately half of the population goes through menopause, yet the subject is still stigmatized due to its connection to gender and aging. Many women hesitate to discuss their symptoms with healthcare providers often because of feelings of shame or a lack of awareness about what menopause actually is.¹ 

With women representing nearly half of the U.S. workforce, employers who fail to address menopause risk experiencing declining productivity among their organization.² Research indicates that when symptoms go untreated, it can result in costly, avoidable medical expenses and a decline in quality of life, both personally and professionally.
