    Closing the Women's Health Gap: The Key to a Healthier, More Resilient Workforce

    When:
    Thursday, March 6, 2025
    1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
    Where:
    Description:

    According to a 2024 McKinsey report, nearly half of the women’s health burden occurs between the ages of 20 and 64 – nearly the entire span of a woman’s working years.Resilience aside, the symptoms and presentations of conditions – endometriosis, ovarian cancer, menopause and many more – directly interfere with a woman’s ability to thrive at work. Ignoring these challenges doesn’t just hurt employees—it costs businesses in lost productivity, retention and innovation.

    Women are driving change, tackling these issues head-on. From the rise of Femtech to forward-thinking workplace policies, companies and leaders now have a chance to close the gap in women’s health and build a healthier, more resilient workforce.

    On Thursday, March 6 at 1 p.m. (ET), join Smith Business Insight for a free, 60-minute International Women’s Day webinar, where industry experts will break down the vital link between women’s health, business success and economic growth.

    Participants will learn: 

    • The many aspects of women’s health and why it matters in today’s business world
    • How investing women’s health matters helps both women and the workplace
    • How technology and innovation are addressing women’s health challenges
    • Practical strategies for employers and employees to support women’s health in the workplace.
