• 31% of women have a severe reproductive health or gynaecological condition.  

• Over 1 in 10 women have endometriosis. The average person with endometriosis takes up to 20 sick days per year for the most common symptom, severe pain.

• Period pain leads to an average of 9 days of lost productivity for women each year.

Last year at Fertifa, we introduced a Women's Health Policy because we saw the impact women's health challenges can have on an individual, especially in the absence of proper workplace support. A Women's Health Policy is a crucial part of building an inclusive workplace that will help attract and retain your female talent. But what happens next?  

On the 23^rd of January, we will discuss the key things you need to think about in 2025 to ensure you have a fully comprehensive women’s health strategy.  

• The most common women's health challenges and gynaecological conditions you should be aware of as an HR professional

• What to include in your women’s health and menopause policies, why they should be separate, and how many days off an employee should be entitled to for women’s health challenges

• Additional support you can offer for women’s health concerns  

• How to ensure your managers are equipped to support women through gynaecological and reproductive health challenges

There will be plenty of time for Q&A, as always.
