Women's health affects performance, confidence, and attendance — yet 3 in 5 women report that workplace support is insufficient (CIPD Women's Health Report, 2023).
This gap is even larger for all ethnically diverse women, starting with Muslim, South Asian and Black women.
ThriveHer delivers doctor-led, culturally & faith-aware education that improves wellbeing, retention, and inclusion.
Why Women's Health Matters at Work
Productivity
Women lose 45 million workdays per year due to period pain, heavy bleeding, migraines, and related symptoms (UK ONS, 2023).
Retention & Loyalty
72% of women say better women's health support would increase loyalty to their employer (CIPD, 2023).
Psychological Safety
Only 1 in 4 women feel comfortable raising health needs with their manager (Fawcett Society, 2022).
Health Equity
All ethnically diverse women, starting with South Asian and Black women, have 2–3× higher cardiometabolic risk, particularly after age 40 (British Heart Foundation + Lancet, 2021–23).
Supporting women's health = protecting your workforce and reducing preventable loss.
A Spotlight on Menopause & Cardiovascular Health
Menopause is one of the most under-recognised causes of sickness, burnout, and retention loss.
1 in 10 women leave their job because of menopause symptoms (Fawcett Society, 2022).
1 in 4 reduce hours or step down due to symptoms like insomnia, anxiety, and cognitive fog (NMS UK Survey, 2023).
Post-menopausal women experience a dramatic rise in cardiovascular risk, especially in all ethnically diverse women, starting with South Asian and Black communities (British Heart Foundation, NICE NG23).
CVD remains the leading cause of death in women, rising sharply after menopause (British Heart Foundation, 2023).
Addressing menopause + CVD together is an equity and workforce retention priority.
