    • Public health
    • Gender studies

    Background:

    • Rising costs associated with employee ill health, including sick pay and rehabilitation, are driving interest in workplace health promotion.
    • Despite the growing focus on workplace wellness, the specific health challenges and environmental factors affecting women in the workforce remain under-researched and neglected.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the critical need for tailored health promotion strategies that address the unique working environments and health concerns of women.
    • To advocate for increased research and attention to gender-specific occupational health issues.

    Main Methods:

    • This study involves a comprehensive review of existing literature on workplace health promotion and gender-specific occupational health.
    • Analysis of current health promotion programs to identify gaps in addressing women's needs.

    Main Results:

    • Current workplace health promotion initiatives often fail to adequately consider the distinct occupational hazards and health issues faced by women.
    • There is a significant lack of data and targeted interventions for women's health within the workplace context.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace health promotion must evolve to become more inclusive and gender-sensitive.
    • Future research and policy development should prioritize the health and well-being of women in the workplace to ensure equitable health outcomes.
