The C-Suite Priority: Why Maternity Still Dominates Corporate Benefits
42% of employers identify maternity support as the area of women's health receiving the greatest executive attention today.
Boston MA -- October 8: Maternity care continues to command the highest level of focus from corporate leadership and CHROs.
The Women's Health Infrastructure Report 2026 reveals that while mental health and menopause are gaining traction, maternity remains the dominant anchor for corporate benefits strategies.
This heavy focus reflects both the visibility of maternity-related benefits and the growing recognition of their direct impact on recruitment, retention, and the overall employee experience[cite: 23]. Mental health (26%) and menopause (16%) follow, showing that organizations are beginning to diversify their attention, but family-building remains the core.
This finding represents just one of dozens of insights uncovered through the Women's Health Infrastructure Report 2026, a cross-sector study bringing together perspectives from health plans, providers, employers, clinicians, life sciences organisations and innovators.
The full report features detailed findings, expert commentary, benchmark data and practical implications for healthcare leaders looking to understand where women's health is heading next.
