According to a recent Deloitte report, half of women surveyed said their stress levels have increased from last year, and nearly half were "concerned" or "very concerned" about their mental health. One Mind at Work's Vice President for Member Engagement, Christina McCarthy, notes "we think about stress that comes with family planning, the stress that comes with menopause, of navigating these conversations, and organizations that haven't properly socialized the discussion - all this create real stress for women in the workforce." To support female workers, consider the following: 1. Empower managers to be flexible and think creatively about how to support their women team members 2. Leverage Employee Resource Groups 3. Include men https://lnkd.in/eQk-8RUt

Promoting allyship in the workplace to ensure everyone feels seen, heard, and belongs | Forbes Contributor
NEW data on the sad state of women in the workplace from Deloitte... 1. Half of women say their stress levels have increased since last year, and despite some progress, they are still not receiving adequate mental health support in the workplace 2. Women’s disproportionate share of domestic responsibilities, including a sharp rise in those caring for another adult, is taking a toll on their careers and mental health 3. Nearly half of women are concerned about their personal safety at work or while traveling to or for work 4. Many women who experience challenges related to menstrual disorders, fertility, and even more so for menopause, feel unable to seek support or take time off from work 5. Experiences with hybrid work are improving, but some women say they have made adjustments to their work and personal lives following return-to-office policies #leadership #women #diversityandinclusion

According to Deloitte’s 2024 Women at Work - A Global Outlook survey: “Globally, women feel their rights are backsliding, they are experiencing increased stress and taking on the majority of household tasks at home. Alongside this they are experiencing non-inclusive behaviours at work, are concerned for their safety and feel unable to disclose when they are experiencing women’s health challenges. This is a situation that must change—and employers must enable this.” https://lnkd.in/gHZxdTda

Want a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace? It starts with considering women's health. In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, companies are becoming more aware of the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion. But one crucial aspect that often goes unnoticed: women's health in the workplace. 🌸 While we strive for gender equality, the reality is that women face unique health challenges that can impact their productivity and overall wellbeing. As employers, is it your responsibility to create an environment that supports and empowers women, allowing them to thrive both personally and professionally? From menstrual health to mental and emotional well-being and menopause support, addressing women's health needs in the workplace is a game-changer. Here's why: 💼 Boost Employee Retention: Investing in women's health sends a powerful message that your company values and cares for its female workforce. When employees feel supported, they are more likely to stay committed, resulting in higher retention rates. 💡 Drive Innovation: Diverse perspectives foster innovation and creativity. By prioritising women's health, you're nurturing an environment where women can bring their best ideas forward, contributing to a more robust and inclusive decision-making process. 📈 Increase Productivity: Optimal health directly correlates with productivity. By providing resources, policies, training and education that address women's health needs, you're helping your employees perform at their best, leading to improved efficiency and results. 🤝 Attract Top Talent: In today's competitive job market, prospective employees seek companies that align with their values. By prioritising women's health, you not only attract top talent but also create a reputation as an employer of choice. 🌐 Enhance Brand Reputation: Being known as an organisation that prioritises women's health is a powerful marketing tool. It showcases your commitment to social responsibility and can attract customers who align with your values. It's time to break the silence and start having conversations about women's health in the workplace. Are you creating a workplace culture that embraces inclusivity, celebrates diversity, and prioritises the wellbeing of all employees, regardless of gender, ethnicity, education and neurodiversity? 💫 If you haven't already, download the #bsi Menstruation, menstrual health and menopause in the workplace guide. https://lnkd.in/ev3gjSxq #WomenInBusiness #DiversityandInclusion #EmployeeWellbeing #EqualOpportunities #womenshealthcoach #nlp

Research from the Fawcett Society and Benenden Health reports that two in five (40 per cent) women believe their professional career development has been negatively impacted by a lack of support for women’s health issues in the workplace. Where women make up 56% of the workforce, it is frustrating to see such an ongoing neglect of research and support for women’s health issues. It is time for companies to break down the taboo of women’s health and focus on supporting and retaining their female talent.

Four out of five women have experienced issues related to women's health in the past six months! Yesterday, we released a Sifo survey where we investigated women's gynecological and hormonal health, with the aim of mapping out how problems with women's health affect work performance and gender equality in the workplace. The report not only shows that four out of five women between the ages of 25 and 60 have experienced at least one women's health-related issue in the past six months, but also that 47% feel that these issues have negatively affected their work performance. 9% have even taken sick leave due to these issues in the past six months. ”Unfortunately, the numbers do not surprise us, as we encounter these patients daily in our clinics. What is distressing is that so many women do not seek help for their problems, even though they are treatable. This contributes to a lot of unnecessary suffering, decreased quality of life, and, as the survey shows, increased sick leave.”- Lydia Graflund One in five women, 21%, have chosen not to report sick despite health problems in the past six months. The main reason is that many see their issues as a natural part of life and that they have to endure. This attitude is common when it comes to problems related to women's health, where many issues have been normalized and are also surrounded by taboo. Other reasons why women choose to go to work despite problems are that it would negatively impact their work if they reported sick or that they are not aware that their condition entitles them to sick leave. The report makes us even more convinced that women's health in the workplace must be addressed for companies to provide women with the same opportunities as men and thereby achieve gender equality. & we want to give an extra thank you to Joo Sundström for supporting us with this survey. Next step - create a solution for this health gap. Watch this space… 👊 -- The report in 8 bullet points: 🙍♀️ 4 out of 5 women have experienced at least one issue related to women's health in the past six months. 💻 Of these women, 47% report that the issues have negatively impacted their work performance. 🏠 9% have taken sick leave due to the issues in the past six months. 📊 While 21% have avoided reporting sick despite having issues in the past six months, 42% have avoided reporting sick at some point. 👩⚕️ 55% have sought medical care for their issues at some point, with 25% of them seeking care multiple times. 😞 Of these women, 31% feel they have not received the necessary care when seeking help. 💶 In the group with a monthly income of 0 - 24,999 SEK, 62% feel they receive the necessary help when seeking care for women's health-related issues. The corresponding figure for those earning over 50,000 SEK is 89%. 👩💼 48% feel uncomfortable discussing issues related to women's health with their boss or HR manager.
