I sat down with Kembre Roberts and Kevin Fyock from Aon to get into why women's health keeps getting deprioritized, what it's costing orgs as a result, and what it looks like when employers finally get this right.  Just having a fertility benefit and calling it a day isn’t gonna cut it anymore! --- 00:00:00 - Intro 00:02:30 - Why Employers Should Care About Women's Health 00:12:45 - How Women's Health Directly Influences Financial Security 00:19:55 - The Data You Need to Help Execs Understand Women's Health Data 00:27:44 - Being Proactive About Women's Health and Financial Wellness Before a Crisis Happens 00:35:26 - What Orgs Keep Getting Wrong About Women's Health, and What a Better Decision Looks Like Aon’s Human Capital capabilities help organizations make confident workforce decisions by connecting advisory, insights and data across health benefits, talent and retirement.
