WHY WOMEN’S HEALTH MATTERS IN THE WORKPLACE

Women make up nearly half of South Africa’s workforce, yet they face a 35.9% unemployment rate (vs 31% for men) and earn just 78 cents for every R1 earned by men. They hold only 6.8% of managerial positions.

Much of this gap stems from inadequate support surrounding: menstruation, maternity, and menopause, challenges that are unique to women.

Without targeted support, companies lose productivity, experience higher absenteeism, and struggle to retain talented mid-career women. At FemmeFyn, we help organisations turn women’s health into a strategic advantage — improving retention, engagement, and performance.

WHY FEMMEFYN

The name FemmeFyn combines “Femme” (woman) with “Fynbos”, the unique and beautiful indigenous flora of South Africa. Fynbos is renowned for its ability to bloom and flourish even after the harshest conditions, including fire.

This powerful symbolism reflects our commitment to supporting women through the natural seasons of menstruation, maternity, and menopause — helping them emerge stronger, more resilient, and able to thrive both personally and professionally.

We believe every woman deserves to feel Fyn — strong, resilient, and thriving.

TESTIMONIALS

"For the first time in 7 years of dealing with a very difficult menopause, I finally feel seen and supported.”

— Menopause Workshop Participant

“Dr Lizzy’s educational talk on menopause was excellent. I went from knowing very little on the subject to feeling confident and much more able to address menopause-related issues with my team. The session was clear, well-presented, and highly professional. I now feel much more comfortable supporting and talking to the employees I manage about this topic.”
