Offer meaningful benefits to women

Women play a crucial role in the American workforce. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, women made up 56.8 percent of the nation's labor force in 2022.

To attract top talent and retain current employees, it is important that women have access to comprehensive coverage that prioritizes and supports their health care needs.

What benefits do women look for?

For many women, a career is just one of many responsibilities placed on them. The Family Caregiver Alliance reports that 75% of all caregivers are women. Whether it's taking care of the home, family, or elderly relatives, women statistically have more responsibilities outside of work.

Including support for busy schedules, flexible options for care and comprehensive approaches to wellness in a group health plan can not only help support women, but everyone in the workplace.
