Don’t Overlook Menopause in the Workplace

Women make up a significant portion of today’s workforce, so supporting their health and well-being isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s good for business.

Join us for an insightful panel discussion where our experts dive into an often overlooked topic: menopause. This session reveals why addressing the challenges women face during perimenopause and menopause is crucial for organizations aiming to create a truly supportive work environment.

What you’ll learn:

• The business case for including menopause support in employee well-being programs.
• Common organizational mistakes and the importance of inclusive health policies.
• Actionable steps your organization can take to become menopause friendly.

Employee engagement is historically low. In fact, in 2023 Gallup reported that just 33% of employees were actively engaged at work and 16% were actively disengaged. That’s a loss of productivity totaling $1.6 trillion dollars each year.  

So how can a company take the necessary steps to promote and actively provide measures to increase engagement and head into 2025 with a new outlook on productivity and retention? By implementing an employee engagement initiative that promotes communication! 

By joining this webinar we will give HR leaders an opportunity to see the benefits of increased engagement in the workplace AND provide them with the tools and support they need to implement a successful engagement program. Additionally, we will show leaders that engagement is an important piece to the well-being puzzle and that while having and engagement program or a well-being program is great, having both is the gold-star standard!  

The more engaged employees are, the more likely they are to stay longer (retention) and refer their company to friends and family. Disengaged employees cost your company time, money and resources. The key to combatting this is strategic and consistent measurement–while also using that data to implement key engagement initiatives.   

What you’ll gain:

• Discover what makes employee listening and engagement an important part of a happy, healthy workplace.  
• Explore recent research-driven insights and trends in employee engagement. 
• Learn how to build a thriving organizational culture through integrated engagement and well-being programs.  

The leadership team for the City of Mesa is committed to being actively engaged in their well-being program challenges. With their involvement, the Beat the Boss challenge became a collaborative effort with a touch of friendly competition. 

The Ask

The client requested we build from their well-received campaign. They wanted to motivate employees to compete in a friendly step challenge against their bosses. Additionally, they requested that we incorporate personalized photos into the current program design to ensure a familiar and engaging experience for participants.

The Deliverable

We created 5 emails and 1 flyer to promote the City of Mesa Beat the Boss challenge.

The Strategy

Aligning the client’s relaunch campaign with this custom challenge ensured a cohesive program look, reinforcing the brand’s message across all platforms. This strategy enhanced overall effectiveness and visual consistency. With the use of real participants’ photos, the challenge brought a feeling of familiarity. We also tweaked the copy from the previous challenge to fit within the Beat the Boss parameters.

More than half of participants were able to beat the boss!

• 901 opted-in for the challenge (34% of registered users)

Client Testimonials

Our last Beat the Boss challenge, which was facilitated through our WebMD One Portal for the third year now, was a great success, thanks in large part to the exceptional work of our app/portal and the WebMD team.

The portal and the custom emails that went out throughout the challenge played a pivotal role in keeping our participants informed, motivated, and engaged throughout the entire journey towards better health.

We are very lucky to have our City Manager participate every year. He looks forward to it just as much as the employees do. We highly recommend this challenge to anyone seeking to enhance engagement, motivation, and community spirit through leadership engagement and strategic communication.
