Where these conditions sit under the Equality Act 2010 and what that means for you from a legal perspective.
A live Q&A with the panel.

Unsupported women's health is costing your organisation in absence, presenteeism and retention.

Endometriosis UK reports that 1 in 6 women with endometriosis give up work altogether. Endometriosis and Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS, previously known as PCOS) are two of the biggest hidden drivers. 

Here's what Peppy's research with over 1,300 women found:

  • 73% say their periods interfere with everyday activities

  • Only 13% are receiving treatment

  • Fewer than half who sought medical help felt taken seriously

This is not just an absenteeism problem. It is a presenteeism problem.
The data from Endometriosis UK states that endometriosis takes an average of 9 years and 4 months to diagnose in the UK. 38% of people with the condition worried about losing their job. 27% missed a promotion. This is the reality your workforce is navigating. 


But that doesn't have to be the outcome. With the right support, women can stay, thrive and progress at work, while employers retain experienced talent and reduce the impact of absence and presenteeism.

Supporting women's health is about creating a workplace where women can perform at their best. This session will help you do just that.
