Upcoming research from Catalyst highlights that more than one-third of women employees say their menopause symptoms negatively impact work performance. The cost? An estimated $1.8 billion per year in the US alone.  

The question for HR and talent leaders isn’t whether to provide support for employees going through perimenopause and menopause, it’s how quickly they can meet the demand: 84% of employees globally agree that workplaces need to do more. The door is open for smart, inclusive business leaders to break the stigma of menopause at work and build a corporate culture and benefits structure that encourages authenticity, dialogue, and support. 

Watch this webinar to hear our panel of experts discuss: 

• The importance of destigmatizing menopause in the workplace and opening the door to empathetic dialogues between managers and reports. 

• How to build an organizational culture that offers support for common challenges of menopause. 

• Why building resource structures for employees with menopause benefits every employee at every level of the organization.

In November 2023, Catalyst launched its first research report as part of the Frontline Employees Initiative, introducing a new research pillar focused on employees directly involved in production, processing, and service delivery in non-office settings. Since then, Catalyst has developed a series of resources and solutions for both corporate DEI teams and frontline managers to create rewarding environments where frontline employees can thrive and perform.

Join us for an insightful overview of these resources, followed by a brief Q&A session where you can interact with Catalyst experts and ask questions about how we can best support you.

We invite frontline supervisors and DEI practitioners to attend this event.

Women in frontline, or “pink collar,” roles form the backbone of many industries, yet they continue to face significant and unique challenges and inequities in the workplace. These roles, particularly in retail, manufacturing, and hospitality, often have high turnover, low morale, and low levels of psychological safety.

When companies prioritize the needs of pink-collar workers, they not only enhance employee well-being but also boost overall organizational success. By reducing turnover by just 10%, companies can save $4-$7 billion in these industries.

By implementing inclusive practices and providing the necessary resources, businesses can foster a culture of equity and support that benefits all employees from the factory floor to the boardroom.

Join our panel of experts to discuss:

• Findings from the Catalyst suite of Frontline Employees Initiative research on the top challenges faced by women in pink collar roles
• Proven strategies to alleviate stress, reduce turnover, and boost morale for frontline employees
• How prioritizing inclusive policies for frontline employees benefits the entire organization at every level

Among the 56% of Latine women who report feeling on guard at work, nearly half say they think about quitting “frequently” or “all the time.” This frightening data illuminates an enormous opportunity for organizations to practice active and engaged allyship to drive Latine women’s long-term success.

Allyship and inclusive leadership are critical for breaking down systemic barriers and fostering an environment where Latine women can thrive. By actively supporting and advocating for Latine women, businesses can enhance their talent pipelines, promote diversity, and create a culture of inclusion.

Join our panel of experts for Hispanic Heritage Month to discuss:

• Best practices for enhancing psychological safety in the workplace
• How inclusive leaders can model allyship for Latine women at all levels of an organization
• Specific programs and initiatives to empower and advance Latine women through every stage of their careers
