Women’s Health and Wellbeing Programme – CMI Level 7
Women’s health and wellbeing is a growing focus for many organisations as they consider how to attract and retain female talent in the workplace. Promoting an inclusive working environment for all genders and ages is paramount for every organisation and can help women employees better manage their workload and reduce stress, leading to improved mental and physical health.
More than ever before, organisations are being encouraged to consider women’s health within their policies. Managers need to be educated on the spectrum of health issues women confront and the extent to which each can affect their respective departments. As menstrual and menopausal experience can impact an employee’s attendance, ability to perform certain duties and their job satisfaction, it is vital that employers understand how they can foster an inclusive workplace culture and make helpful and reasonable adjustments.
59% of women experiencing menopause symptoms say it has a negative impact on their work, over 1 million women have left work due to the impact of menopause symptoms and conditions like PCOS, Endometriosis and Adenomyosis impact 1 in 10 women. Therefore, there is a huge opportunity for organisations to consider how to support women in the workplace to thrive. This programme will address how employers can address women’s unique challenges, advocating for gender equity and ensuring that company policies and practices are designed to support the health and well-being of all employees.
