Women don’t decline gradually with age — they decline in hormonal phases: puberty, postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. Left unmanaged, these transitions drive absenteeism, presenteeism, and attrition, creating a significant economic burden through lost productivity across Canada. This session breaks down the “compounding hormone debt” model: how early, untreated hormonal dysfunction (PCOS, PMDD, perimenopause symptoms) quietly escalates into costly chronic disease and disability claims later in life. Using real case studies and outcomes data, Dr. Kristy Prouse shows HR and benefits leaders how to design total rewards strategies that intervene early — protecting both employee wellbeing and the bottom line.

Presenter: Dr. Kristy Prouse – Chief Medical Advisor in Women’s Health, Science & Humans ( Click for Speaker’s Bio)
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Understand the five hormonal life stages women move through and why each carries distinct health and productivity risks
- Recognize how untreated early symptoms (PCOS, PMDD, perimenopause) compound into costly chronic disease and disability claims over time
- Quantify the business case: the micro- and macro-economic impact of the women’s health gap on your workforce and the Canadian economy
- Learn what “good” looks like — real outcomes data on sleep, productivity, concentration, and retention when hormone health is proactively supported
- Walk away with a framework for evaluating and designing benefits that address hormone health across a woman’s full career lifecycle, not just at menopause
Who should attend:
HR, benefits, and total rewards professionals — particularly those responsible for group benefits design, absence/disability management, or DEI strategy — who want to understand the business case for hormone health coverage. Best suited to those with some benefits design experience who are evaluating plan changes, renewals, or how to close gaps in support for employees across menstrual, fertility, and menopause-related health needs.Format: Live Online – Zoom Webinar
