Supporting Women’s Health through Group Employee Benefits

Our Group Employee Benefits cover a wide range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments that help employers support women’s health.

Employers can help support women’s health through Group Employee Benefits.

According to a report by McKinsey Health Institute, women spend an average of 9 years in poor health. This affects a woman’s ability to be present and/or productive at work and ultimately reduces her earning potential.

For employers, narrowing this gap could generate the equivalent of 137 million women accessing full-time positions by 2040. Below are some key offerings that can assist women in the workforce and increase their overall well-being.

Group Employee Benefits and Gynecological Health

Our plan covers a wide range of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for gynecological concerns, such as:

  • Fertility
  • Family planning
  • Incontinence
  • Mastectomies
  • Menopause

Treatments include:

  • Hormone therapies
  • Massage therapy
  • Physiotherapy
  • Chiropractic and naturopathic therapies
  • Counselling
  • Dietician support

Addressing Health Conditions Unique to Women

Many health conditions develop and present themselves differently in women, which is why we also offer:

  • A Pillcheck Program: The Pillcheck Program helps understand how drugs interact with women’s hormonal cycles and health concerns.
  • Maternity Leave Coverage: Employees can continue their benefits coverage during maternity, parental, or family-related leaves to ensure access to necessary health services.
  • Access to additional resources such as Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and Teledoc Health, to help women improve and manage their health and wellness. Our customers can access these resources by logging into the customer portal.
