Women in Work 

In this session, Kate Ryder, founder and chief executive of Maven Clinic, which works with employers to deliver personalised and comprehensive support for women and families throughout the journeys of fertility and family-building, pregnancy, parenting, paediatrics and menopause, shared how employee engagement is an essential component of better workplace outcomes. 

Ryder encouraged employers to “really listen – whether through the conduit of ERGs, or via employee surveys, to what their employees are saying.” 

Questioned by Dr Nighat Arif, Ryder said: “Recent research (That Works for Me, 2023) shows that less than a quarter (24%) of women go back to full-time after having children, and of that 24%, 79% ended up leaving anyway due to not being able to maintain a full-time role, 90% of Maven members return to work following parental leave.”

And as Dr Nighat Arif added: “These are societal issues, not women's issues. It's everybody's issue. As circles, women tend to be constantly put into a square. The time has come to say no. And that's why having conversations like this are vital, so women are never seen as weak or 'a problem' because they’re having a menstrual cycle or menopausal symptoms.”
