WOMANSHIP WORKPLACE INSIGHTS

Understand what your people are really carrying

Most workplace wellbeing programmes start with an answer. 


We start by listening.


For everyone in your organisation. Women and men. Managers and teams.

Why Womanship

We look at the whole person.

Health, hormones, caring, money, grief, confidence....


We bring expertise across every life stage, because that's how real lives work.

We include everyone.

This isn't about men versus women. It's about understanding our differences, and why the gaps exist, so everyone can work better together. 


When we asked, many men told us they wanted to know how to support their colleagues better.

We bring the right experts.

People don't leave their lives at the door when they come to work.

Behind every organisation are people navigating lives that don't stop at the office door.


Health challenges. Caring responsibilities. Financial pressure. Confidence. Relationships. Grief. Life transitions.


These experiences influence engagement, performance, collaboration and retention every day...yet they often remain unseen.


The question isn't whether these challenges exist.


It's whether your organisation truly understands what's affecting your people.

That's where meaningful change begins.

WOMANSHIP WORKPLACE INSIGHTS

Find out what your people are really carrying

People rarely tell HR the whole story.


Our research with nearly 500 women found that only 29% feel they can be completely open about what they're carrying, even with their closest friends.


At work, that number doesn't go up.


Womanship Workplace Insights gives your people a safe, anonymous way to tell you what's really going on. 


Not what they think you want to hear. 


What's actually true.


You can't support what you can't see. This is how you start seeing it.

How it works

We get to know you.

We act on what we hear.

We get to know you.

No two organisations are the same, so we don't use an off-the-shelf survey. 


We start with a conversation about your people, your culture and what you want to understand.

We listen.

We act on what we hear.

We get to know you.

We design a confidential, anonymous survey around your workforce, open to everyone, whatever their gender or role. 


No individual is ever identifiable.


Responses are anonymous and handled in line with GDPR. You see themes, never individuals.

We act on what we hear.

We act on what we hear.

We act on what we hear.

Your findings shape what comes next.


 That might be a keynote, a leadership conversation or specialist sessions, delivered by verified professionals from our network.

WORKPLACE INSIGHTS IN PRACTICE

Different workplaces. Different reasons for staying silent.

DHB Bank

What we heard: Women were carrying pressures that weren’t always visible at work. Energy, hormones and life stage, confidence and the emotional load of “holding it together” were all affecting how they experienced work - including how confidently they spoke up, made themselves visible and asked for support.


The conversations also highlighted an important distinction between confidence and competence: highly capable women can still experience self-doubt, hold back or feel they need to prove themselves.


What we did: We used anonymous employee insights to design a women-only session around sustainable performance, energy, confidence and voice at work. Rather than treating these as individual issues to “fix”, we explored what sits beneath them — from hormones and life stages to workplace dynamics and invisible pressures.


The session became a starting point rather than an endpoint. DHB created a cross-bank core group to build on what emerged and explore how the conversation could develop into something that supports everyone across the organisation.


“We want DHB Bank to be a place where everyone feels they have a voice and the support they need to grow. Partnering with Womanship allows us to bring expert insights directly to our team, helping us build an even more inclusive and sustainable workplace together.”

Adelaïde Mafubo, Head of HR, DHB Bank

North London Waste Authority

What we heard:
Almost everyone believed their colleagues would be kind.
Yet most still hadn't told anyone at work what they were going through.
Not because they feared judgement.
Because they didn't think anything would change.

And many of the men told us they wanted to learn how to support their colleagues better.


What we did:
A session for men and women, managers and teams, on periods, hormones, menopause, men's health, and how we support each other at work.


"Lots of people have come up to me afterwards saying how fascinating they found it, how much they learnt and how much they benefited from it. We really couldn't have asked for more!"

Sophie Wilkinson, Education & Engagement Manager, North London Waste Authority

Same result

People carrying things alone, and bringing them to work every day.
That's not a problem. It's an opportunity.
