Gender health gap in the workplace
Manage episode 436467937 series 2794531
On today’s episode of The Enterprise Doctor Business Show, my guest was Rebecca Mian, Director of People Services at Benenden Health.
We spoke about the campaign launched by Benenden Health, in partnership with the Fawcett Society and Cherry Healey, which shines a light on the gender health gap in the UK in a bid to break down the barriers that lead to poorer health outcomes for women.
Identifying some of the key issues they face in the workplace, more than two thirds of women (70%) said they find it challenging dealing with periods at work, while 62% have faced challenges when pregnant. In this instance, almost half revealed that they have had difficulty when trying to conceal a pregnancy in the workplace and two thirds of women (64%) say they have struggled with the impact of the menopause at work.
