Increased awareness of expanded women’s health and family building solutions has led to a growing disconnect between most wanted employee benefits and employer offerings
NEW YORK, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY), a global leader in women’s health and family building solutions, today announced the results of their new national research conducted in partnership with Dynata, the world’s largest first-party data company for insights, activation, and measurement. The study reveals a persistent gap between what employees want from their women’s health benefits, and what employers believe they are providing. Specifically, results show thatÌý
“The trend of women seeking out and even changing jobs for better benefits has been a persistent one the past few years. This study proves that women know what they want, and they are raising their voices. Simultaneously, HR leaders are aware of this trend and are eager to expand their women's health benefits to get ahead in talent recruitment and retention,� said Katie Higgins, Chief Commercial Officer, Progyny. “Where the mark in women’s health benefits may be missed is with the absence of a unified benefit that provides success to both sides � covers the continuum of care for women, increases engagement, results in clinical impact, and provides cost-control.�
According to the study, while most employers express a strong interest in supporting women’s health, they are unknowingly falling short in delivering access to specialized care, clear benefits navigation, and the personalization employees expect, particularly across critical life stages like fertility, pregnancy, and menopause. It’s not enough to simply offer a women’s health benefit or access to a digital tool â€� the benefit needs to be designed and implemented with intention.ÌýÌý
This new research shows leading concerns among female employees include:
- A significant gap exists. While
83% of women say benefits that support coaching and treatment for menopause are important, only12% say their employer does a good job in providing them.
- Confusion limits impact. Nearly one in four women (
24% ) who wanted to use a benefit gave up because it was too complex to understand or access. - Integration matters.
83% of women and88% of employers agree that centralized support from one place would make women’s health benefits more effective. - The stakes are high.Ìý
69% of benefit managers said women’s health benefits are extremely important to their strategy of attracting and retaining younger employees.
One employer respondent summed it up: “I feel that the lack of dedicated resources, such as an internal women’s health advocate or specialist, prevents us from delivering a truly comprehensive women’s health program.�
The data shows that employers need a solution that brings it all together: personalized care from top-tier specialists, built-in education, connected services, and ongoing support.
“We speak with employers who are deeply committed to supporting their workforce, but many don’t know where to start and feel the goal post keeps moving, "said Higgins. “This research highlights where employee needs are greatest and shows that offering support across the full women’s health journey is now table stakes. Leading organizations aren’t just keeping up with trends � they’re investing strategically to improve outcomes, control costs, and retain talent.�
