Recognising endometriosis as a workplace issue is crucial.
​
​Endometriosis is a debilitating whole body condition that can have a significant impact on day-to-day life, including at work. For this reason it is everyone's responsibility to raise awareness, reduce stigmas, make workplace adjustments, improve health outcomes and work-life satisfaction.
​
If employee wellbeing is not prioritised it can lead to decreased productivity, increased sick leave, high staff turnover, low morale, and even the risk of employment tribunals.
Doing nothing will cost your business.
Endometriosis affects 10% of women at reproductive age (190 million globally)​
​
50% report significant impacts on work productivity
​
Research shows up to 50% of women with endometriosis may experience infertility
8% left work or considered leaving their jobs due to lack of support
​
​70% feel their symptoms are not understood by employers

Cost of recruiting and retraining for just one team member is estimated at over £30,000
