Lifestage health
Holistic health provision in the moments that matter
What is Lifestage Health?
Our unique health and wellbeing needs change as we move through the key stages of life. From adolescence to adulthood and later years, new life events occur, bringing physical and mental challenges that affect not only ourselves but our families, friends and colleague’s too. Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) must be at the heart of lifestage health support, ensuring all employees are supported.
Lifestage heath support isn't a tick-box exercise that starts and ends with a policy. It's an organisational culture change involving education, awareness, communication and support for employees through important and often challenging periods of their lives. Getting this right in the moments that matter is a vital ingredient to delivering a compelling employee value proposition.

Tackling the stigma around Women’s Health
As part of our Lifestage Health consulting, we are supporting clients in tackling stigma, presenteeism and absenteeism in the workplace resulting from menopause, fertility/infertility and chronic reproductive illnesses. In doing so clients can further advance workplace DEI, engagement, recruitment and retention. Some stats to frame the challenges include:
- Women of menopausal age are the fastest growing demographic in the UK workforce, yet 20% of women aged 45 - 60 leave jobs due to menopause. (Syrona)
- 100% of women will experience menopause, with 90% feeling symptoms that affect their work performance. (Peppy)
- 80% of women experience reproductive health symptoms at work with 9 days total productivity lost per year due to presenteeism. (Hertility)
- 63% of an organisation’s benefit policies are not inclusive of LGBTQ+ employees and their partners. (Syrona)
