Unstoppable 
women don’t leave. Are you giving them a reason to stay?

Peppy's International Women's Day event
for HR and Benefits leaders

Unstoppable - transparaent
VIRTUAL EVENT
5th MARCH 2026
12 PM GMT
Artboard 34@2x

Headline Speaker: Pavita Cooper, Chair of the 30% Club UK

This session is designed for HR Directors, Heads of Reward & Benefits Leaders at enterprise organisations who are: 
  • Seeing attrition patterns among women (particularly mid-career or senior talent)
  • Concerned about leadership pipeline gaps and succession planning
  • Responsible for making benefits investment decisions
  • Looking to strengthen retention and reduce health-related absence costs
  • Preparing for Employment Rights Act requirements (menopause action plans, gender equity and more)

When health needs linked to menstrual health, fertility, pregnancy, menopause, cardiovascular health and long-term conditions go unsupported, women:

  • Take unplanned absence that disrupts teams and drives costs
  • Disengage and reduce contribution before formally leaving
  • Step back from progression opportunities at critical career moments
  • Leave quietly for organisations that support them better

The result is health-driven attrition that undermines retention targets, weakens leadership pipelines and creates costly replacement cycles.

When employers give meaningful women's health support, they gain retention, leadership strength and performance. This session is designed to help decision-makers understand where their organisation is exposed and what to do about it.
