Empowering women in the workplace means supporting them through every stage of their careers — including when they need to take a leave of absence.
Our latest research reveals that women face greater financial, emotional and professional challenges than men when taking leave, affecting not only their well-being but also company culture and productivity. By fostering a supportive environment, offering robust mental health resources and providing flexible return-to-work and stay-at-work programs, organizations can build loyalty and engagement among female employees while minimizing the effects of turnover.
