Plan Sponsor’s Guide to Women’s Health

Women are essential to the Canadian economy but aren’t always receiving the health supports they need. Across a range of health issues, women are often diagnosed later, are less likely to receive timely treatment and support and experience more adverse outcomes than men.

This gender health gap shows up in workplaces across the country, with many women making career-limiting decisions to address health issues and plan sponsors losing out on productivity and experienced workers — some at the height of their careers.

Plan sponsors can play a critical role in addressing the gender health gap. This guide will help plan sponsors in supporting various facets of women’s health in the workplace, touching on mental health, chronic illness, reproductive health and menopause.
