Destigmatizing Obesity in the Workplace
Obesity is the next women’s health issue in the workplace and employers are uniquely positioned to provide coverage and support for their employees living with obesity.
The question is how?
In partnership with the EveryBODY Covered Campaign, Perfeqta's webinar and fireside chat focuses on strategies for destigmatizing obesity in the workplace.
Together, we discussed obesity as a chronic disease, how it can negatively impact women’s experiences in the workplace, and the important role employers can play in addressing obesity.
Our expert guests also shared strategies on how employers can provide a full range of evidence-based obesity care.
