With women accounting for approximately half of the global workforce1, it's more important than ever to consider how your benefits strategy specifically addresses the needs of working women, especially if your workforce spans countries, if not continents.
To help with this challenge, we explore the needs of working women globally and identify opportunities to engage your employees with resources and benefits that align to their specific needs.
We examine key findings to help you and your team facilitate strategic conversations and identify potential next steps that are most appropriate for your company.
