SUMMARY REMARKS | Jessica Tan, President, Sun Life Canada #GlobeWomensHealth

CLOSING KEYNOTE | Accessing Care - Changing the conversation on women's health It’s important to have investigations and discussions to find out what treatment you need. When you step into an appointment, you have to describe how your symptoms are impacting your daily life. Our health is important, not just for us, but for all our allies, because women’s health impacts everyone. Dr. Yolanda Kirkham, MD, Obstetrician Gynecologist #GlobeWomensHealth

Having really good programs and benefits in place is very important. But something else that helps the day-to-day experience are the teams and managers. That day-to-day experience can have a huge impact on women’s mental health at work. We all work in teams and we have to up skill everybody, not just managers. Steph Braid, Director, Inclusion, Diversity & Equity, KPMG Canada #GlobeWomensHealth

There’s no such thing as an average employee. ERGs are a really great place to create safe spaces and find gaps in the work you’re doing. Ayman Alvi, Vice President, Global Pension & Benefits, Scotiabank #GlobeWomensHealth

We’ve come a long way in seeing women’s health as a business case, and now theres opportunities to talk about it. But it’s also important to think about men in the equation - some things that you do will help everyone. If men are taking advantage of these benefits, like parental leave, it will help us all.  Helena Pagano, Executive Vice-President, Chief People and Culture Officer, Sun Life #GlobeWomensHealth
