Event details

Menopause and perimenopause affect women of all backgrounds—and they can’t just turn it off at work. In fact, 6,000 women hit menopause each day in the United States, which equates to 1.3 million women each year, according to Midi, which offers women specialized care plans that target their symptoms. Perimenopause—the transitional period before menopause—can also be a daunting time.

Join us for a dynamic conversation exploring how forward-thinking employers can better support employees experiencing menopause and even perimenopause. We’re sitting down with leaders at CVS Health® the first company in the country to receive the Menopause Friendly Accreditation from MiDOViA, an organization dedicated to supporting workplace menopause services, education, and advocacy. The accreditation recognizes CVS Health’s commitment to supporting colleagues and the people it serves with aligned benefits, educational resources, and peer support services to help them navigate through menopause and their healthy aging journeys.

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

  • With women comprising more than half of the U.S. labor force, comprehensive women’s health benefits have become a critical factor in attracting and keeping women in the workforce.

  • The symptoms of menopause and perimenopause may affect some women in the workplace, and more work needs to be done to help women navigate this critical time in their lives.

  • Accredited programs, inclusive benefits, and workplace education that are helping to break stigma, promote health equity, and create a culture of care.

  • Advice for driving supportive initiatives and practical ways to help women undergoing menopause or perimenopause day to day.
