Reproductive health and the gender wealth gap: Why is it an HR issue?

Women's health conditions including infertility, maternity, and menopause widen the gender wealth gap - Here's what HR teams can do to help.

Chief Commercial Officer, Octopus Money

Women face unique health journeys that can have lasting financial and professional impacts. When unaddressed in the workplace, reproductive health challenges often contribute to career interruptions, missed opportunities, and ultimately, a widening gender wealth gap.

Forward-thinking HR teams are recognising the role they play in supporting women through different life stages in order to attract and retain top talent. 

On the 5th of June Fertifa’s Executive Director, Eileen Burbidge, will be joined by Anasuya Iyer, Chief Commercial Officer at Octopus Money, to explore how workplace reproductive health support and financial education benefits can help close the gender wealth gap and create a more equitable workplace.

They’ll discuss:

  • How reproductive health issues impact career progression and financial stability
  • The benefits you can offer to reduce the gender pay and pension gaps
  • Practical steps HR leaders can take to support employees through key life stages
