What are 42% of Employers NOT tracking?

42% of employers admit they do not track the impact of women's health challenges on absenteeism.

Boston MA -- September 21: Women's health is no longer just a benefits conversation; it is a core talent retention strategy.

However, the Women's Health Infrastructure Report 2026 highlights a severe measurement gap between executive priorities and actual tracking.

A staggering 42% of employers do not measure this data at all, while only 10% report having clear visibility into its significant impact on the workforce.

"The challenge is that women's-health burden is unusually easy to miss in workforce data because much of it is masked before it is ever measured. Symptoms are often normalized or attributed to generic illness... As a result, absenteeism, presenteeism and productivity loss can be recorded without the underlying women's-health driver ever becoming visible."
