Women are an essential part of today’s workforce, yet they continue to face hurdles like unequal pay, lack of leadership opportunities, and systemic biases. Many women feel pressured to “do it all” — succeeding in their professional careers while also effectively managing domestic and caregiving responsibilities. This results in accumulated stress from multitasking, unfair treatment, and rigid work structures that harm their mental health and wellbeing. In fact, 50% of women report higher workplace stress than in previous years. Further, research suggests that many prioritize mental wellbeing: it is one of the top 3 concerns for working women. To truly support women at workplaces, companies must take action. This white paper discusses current issues related to gender and the workplace, and provides actionable strategies to support working women’s mental health and wellbeing. Further, it discusses how innovative solutions like virtual wellness assistants, such as United We Care’s Stella, can help provide real-time emotional support, mental health resources, and personalized guidance, to help individuals and working women manage stress, set boundaries, and prioritize their wellbeing.
