Newmi’s Corporate programs support women’s health

1 in 3 women at the workplace reported having anxiety symptoms and 29% reported feeling depressed. 1 in 10 women has left work because of menopause symptoms. They were not certain about how to manage their menopause at work. 2 in 5 new moms are leaving their jobs because it is getting too challenging to find a work-life balance with not enough support. All these statistics point to the fact that women’s health is not paid much attention by the workplace community and also by their immediate family. The women who are part of these statistics feel discontent, their confidence is low and their mental health in the working place is heavily compromised. Newmi’s personalized women-at-work programs are a paradigm shift, an attempt to bring together corporate, family, society and women’s care together. 

Why are women leaving the workforce?

Women leave their jobs for various reasons.  Childbirth, post-pregnancy depression and anxiety, menopause and poor mental health, rank among the top five reasons that women bail out from their respective jobs. Let’s look at these reasons individually to know where the gaps lie and how the conscious approach by corporate and society can fill those gaps to make women’s life at work and home fulfilling and hassle-free. 

Childbirth – Resuming work after pregnancy is increasingly becoming difficult for women because there is a lack of support and each baby care task is loaded on their shoulders. Self-care is compromised and an erratic sleep schedule adds to the scalding turmoil. To top it all post-pregnancy depression and stress called PPD become unbearable. With baby care becoming the top priority, all these issues slide under the carpet, making women even more vulnerable. If she lacks family support and empathy in maintaining her sanity and attending to baby care tasks, joining work is also not a very happy situation. Poor maternal care policies, not-so-beneficial work-life balance practices, a dearth of flexible work options, and a lack of childcare resources at work stop women in their tracks and become strong variables to dissuade them from going back to work.

Menopause – Menopause affects the physical and mental health of women. Women face menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, decreased appetite, and unmanageable mood swings while at work. Women going through menopause find it difficult to focus on their work and sudden hormonal shifts cause more changes in their behavior. Menopause needs more awareness and the workforce should take enough steps to educate their leadership departments about menopause to help women facing the condition navigate their challenging emotions. Lack of awareness about this condition demotivates women to carry on with their jobs as the work practices are not in their health’s favour, thus their mental health at work gets impacted poorly.

What is the importance of a corporate wellness program?

A corporate wellness program is very important to stop women from quitting jobs due to health reasons. A well-crafted all-encompassing corporate wellness program acts as the biggest catalyst for women to help them deal with some of the emotional and logistical challenges of life. Corporate well-being program is meticulous planning of the health calendar of women, to bring them closer to an approach where every item on the bucket list of health is ticked. Corporate or workplace wellness has a magnified effect on women’s health care and improves their health outcomes.
