Women, Work and Health

With the government reimagining its approach to women's health, we're helping organisations create workplaces where women thrive. We do this by collaboratively building better supervisory practices, providing practical resources, and fostering cultures that prioritise psychological safety, belonging, and genuine support for mind and body.

Our Process

  • A minimalist line drawing of a plant with three leaves and two curving stems.

    EMPATHY

    Empathy isn't a nice-to-have in our culture; it's the cornerstone. It means consistently seeking to understand others' emotions, thoughts, and perspectives. When empathy guides us, we build deeper trust, stronger relationships, and workplaces where people feel genuinely understood.

    COLLECTIVISM

    We believe that individual and collective success are interconnected. By adopting a collectivist approach, we recognise that everyone shares responsibility for creating a workplace culture that is socially harmonious and mutually supportive.

    INTERSECTIONALITY

    Intersectionality teaches us that women's experiences aren't monolithic. Social identities—gender, race, class, ability, sexuality, and others—intersect to create distinct advantages and barriers for each person. Women's health at work cannot be understood without recognising these intersecting identities and their profound impact.

THE PROBLEM

In the UK, the workplace's failure to support women's health costs the economy over £20 billion annually. But economics only highlight part of the damage. The true cost is paid by women themselves: deteriorating health, interrupted careers, public shame, and forced departures from the workforce. Overlooking 51% of the population is not a minor oversight—it is a systemic failure with profound, preventable consequences.

THE SOLUTION

We work alongside organisations to strengthen their capacity in four critical areas: embedding trauma-informed leadership practices, fostering inclusive environments, closing women's health knowledge gaps, and creating psychologically safe forums for meaningful conversation. This integrated approach directly protects and strengthens women's health in the workplace.
