Femme Vital

Everyone feels less comfortable in their own skin from time to time. For women, this can sometimes be related to women-specific complaints, which can lead to absenteeism. However, this is not yet discussed sufficiently. PDG Health Services assists both female employees and managers in discussing women-specific complaints. With understanding and the right guidance and information, we can reduce the risk of absenteeism and increase the vitality of female employees.

Talking about women-specific complaints still appears to be taboo. When calling in sick, 94% do not indicate that their complaints are related to menopause. These complaints not only lead to absenteeism, but unfortunately also often cause disruptions in the working relationship. Lack of understanding and incorrect guidance (or a lack thereof) are often the cause of this. One in five even fears for their job if they discuss their complaints at work.

Supporting your employee during these phases of her life prevents absenteeism, increases productivity, and has a positive effect on loyalty. PDG Health Services' Femme Vitaal expertise line offers the possibility to receive quick and anonymous direct coaching, practical tips, or expert guidance.

Pregnancy and returning to work
