Welcome back to The Chronic Edge Unleashed and part of the Illness is NOT a burden series.

In this episode we will be looking at Endometriosis in the Workplace.

Rather than me throwing some statistics at you (but don't worry there are still some in there), I wanted the words in this episode to be from someone with the condition and how it is impacted them in the workplace.

Listen as I read Miss Q's words about her experience with Endometriosis and her thoughts about working with the condition and hopes for the future. 

Including: Legal Acts, reasonable adjustments, recruitment, tools, and more.

Endometriosis costs the UK billions per year in lost hours, with some many women prioritising their career's over their bodies due to stigma, misunderstandings, and a lack of support and knowledge to help them improve their position and ultimately support their employer, resulting in loss of income, jobs, and their sense of self, but this doesn't have to be the norm, and with the right support, illness is not a burden.

Next time on Illness is NOT a Burden we discuss the Strategies to help the Endo employee navigate the workplace.

The time is now, it's Time to Unleash your Edge, with the Chronic Edge.
