Occupational physician driving change in women’s health
Emma Bro is an occupational health specialist at Avonova, dedicated to ensuring that women’s health receives the attention it deserves in working life. From early parenthood to menopause, she highlights how biological and social factors shape women’s wellbeing, and why workplaces must adapt to meet these needs.
Women are more often affected by stress-related illness and long-term sick leave, yet many health challenges remain invisible in traditional occupational care. Emma stresses the importance of tailored health assessments and preventive measures.
“Pregnancy, the small‑child years, and menopause affect energy, sleep, mood, and concentration. With adapted measures and preventive workplace strategies, we can strengthen health among women,” says Emma.
Emma underlines that women’s health is not only about hormones, but also about the whole person, including psychosocial factors and the work environment. Chronic stress, she notes, increases the risk of fatigue, pain syndromes, depression, and cardiovascular disease.
“Employers must create sustainable solutions for women. Women’s health is both a workplace issue for the individual and a profitability issue for companies and society. Practical steps include flexible working hours, recovery breaks, ergonomic improvements, and leadership training to detect early signs of stress.” Emma explains.
Avonova’s pilot project has shown promising results, with daily recovery routines and increased recognition at work. Now the goal is to expand this model and inspire more employers to prioritize women’s health. With the initiative Healthy Women, Avonova introduces modernized health screenings that capture women’s needs across life phases, helping to identify conditions that may otherwise impair work ability.
