Women’s Health at Work: Practical Training for HR, Managers & People Leaders
Because healthier employees build stronger organisations.
Women are twice as likely to be on sick leave due to stress compared to men — a trend increasingly visible in the Netherlands. Yet many of the root causes remain unaddressed in the workplace.
From hormonal health and menstrual symptoms, to pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause — women’s health directly impacts energy, focus, and long-term wellbeing at work. And still, it’s often overlooked in organisational strategies.
This training is designed to change that.
Following a sold-out session last year, 3mbrace Health returns to Equals Amsterdam with an updated, practical training for those shaping workplace culture and employee wellbeing.
Whether you work in HR, People & Culture, leadership, benefits, or are responsible for employee experience, this session will give you the knowledge and tools to better support women across all life phases.

Why this matters
Recent data in the Netherlands shows that women are significantly more affected by work-related stress and sick leave. At the same time, many employees experience health challenges in silence — often without the right support in place.
Organisations that address this proactively don’t just support their people better — they also see improvements in retention, productivity, and long-term engagement.
Speakers and partners will be announced shortly.
