We’re excited to announce a new report in our Designed for Health series: Focus on women’s health – emerging trends, effective supports. To create this report, we compiled and analyzed data from more than 20,000 employers and over 3 million plan members.

Helping Clients prioritize women’s health

We know that women face unique health challenges, including higher rates of mental health disability claims, a disproportionate burden of caregiving responsibilities, and more. However, our recent research is uncovering some startling new insights:

• Cancer is disproportionately impacting working-age women and at younger ages.
• Women are three times more likely to experience migraines than men.

Understanding women's unique health challenges is crucial for your Clients. The insights in this report have significant implications for workforce management, benefits planning, workplace accommodations, mental health support, and caregiving assistance.

By recognizing these trends, employers can create more supportive work environments, design comprehensive benefits packages, and demonstrate their commitment to employee well-being.
