Menstrual and menopausal support & Women over 50

Submission deadline: 23 February 2024

First Publish Dates: 8-12 April 2024

This month we will be focusing our content on the ways workplaces can help women with menstrual, menopausal, and other reproductive health support.

About the menstrual & menopausal campaign

We are asking eligible Endorsed Employers to share the details of the menstrual and menopausal support they provide.

Not only will the article help our community of women feel that their experiences are seen and supported, but it will also let them better see your organization as a place where they can be supported to succeed.

The questions to answer

What menstrual, menopausal, or reproductive health support does your organization offer?

Word limit: 250 words

Keep in mind that your submission will be published along with submissions from other Endorsed Employers too. So, if you have an additional short testimonial to accompany your submission this would really help make your submission stand-out.

Other interesting angles to help your content stand out could be:

  • Do you have any other reproductive health policies or support for employees? (this could include male reproductive health too)
  • Do you have any testimonials from, or support systems for, women with endometriosis?
  • Keep an intersectional lens on your content and consider how your reproductive health policies can be inclusive to non-binary or trans employees. 

Potential article headlines

BONUS Content Opportunity: Women over 50

In this month’s special spotlight, we want to raise the voices and experiences of women over the age of 50.

Not only will the article help the women in our community feel that their experiences are seen and supported, but it will also let them better see your organization as a place where they could succeed.

The questions to answer

Supply the testimonial of one woman within your organization who is 50 years old or older that answers these four questions:

  1.  Are you comfortable sharing your age? (Optional to answer, but the story will stipulate you are over 50)
  2. How do you hope your career grows over the next 10 years?
  3. Tell us about a time when you felt truly supported and/or included in your current workplace.
  4. What advice would you offer other women over 50 who are looking for a new job right now?

Word limit: 350 words

Potential article headlines

  • Is it really harder to get a job after 50? Not at these companies

FAQs

What type of images do you need?

Please ensure any headshot photos are high resolution (minimum 1MB), ideally taken against light and neutral backgrounds, with the individual’s face visible and not blurry, to ensure we can use them in the campaign.

Ensure to include a description of all images in the image file name, including the name, role title and pronouns of the pictured people.

How will the advocacy campaign content be shared?

The advocacy campaign content may be curated into any number of formats, including long-form articles, shorter carousel-style stories, videos, or infographics. Each content piece will then be shared across a variety of marketing platforms including our website, social media channels and newsletters. Where relevant we will also broadcast through our partner network and syndicate affiliations.

Will all my content be included?

Due to the high volume and variety of submissions for each focus area, we are unable to include every word of every supplied Endorsed Employers’ content. We will carefully adapt, edit, and curate the content to meet the needs of your organization, but also the needs of our audiences, while always maintaining the veracity of what has been supplied.

We rely on all our Endorsed Employers to provide content relevant to the topic details — the more relevant the content provided, the more space it will be given in any individual feature. Our team will be in touch if we need further clarification on your submission.

I need to speak to someone, who should I contact?

Please reach out to your DEI Account Manager, or campaigns@work180.co if you have further questions.

How will I know when a campaign is live?

Once the main campaign content piece is published, you will be provided with the links. 

Please feel free to share these across your own channels. If there are specific hashtags that we are using for the campaign, we will provide these to you to utilize when sharing across your own social media platforms.

Will I get to view the campaign before it goes live?

No. The time between drafting, building the content, and publishing is very tight. This along with the number of stakeholders involved in each campaign, and the number of campaign content pieces a single submission may be involved in, it simply isn’t fair or feasible to allow any one client to approve the content before it’s published. We ask that clients get all the content they submit to be approved prior to submitting.
