Elevate Global launches free Female Health & Wellbeing Policy Template through ElevateHER initiative

Elevate Global has published a new Female Health & Wellbeing Policy Template as part of its ElevateHER initiative, designed to help businesses across the events and marketing industry better support women in the workplace.

The template has been developed in response to findings from the ElevateHER report, The State of Work for Women in Events and Marketing Exposed (2025), which highlighted persistent gaps in how women experience progression, support, and workplace inclusivity.

ElevateHER, led by Carina Filek, Chief Operations Officer at Elevate Global, was created to move beyond conversation and deliver practical, community-led change. Following six months of focus groups and consultation, alongside research informed by close to 500 industry voices, the initiative identified women’s health and workplace support as priority areas requiring clearer, practical action.

The newly published policy template focuses on menstrual health, menopause support, and fertility, offering organisations a flexible framework they can adapt to suit their size, structure, and geography.

Rather than limiting the resource to internal use, Elevate Global has made the template freely available via the ElevateHER resource hub, aiming to reduce barriers for businesses unsure where to start when addressing women’s health at work.

Key areas covered within the template include:

• Practical guidance around menstrual health, menopause, and fertility, helping organisations normalise conversations and provide structured support.
• Recommendations to support wellbeing through practical, realistic adjustments that can be tailored to operational needs.
• Encouraging clearer communication and education to ensure policies translate into meaningful day-to-day support.

The policy builds on ElevateHER research which identified a significant perception gap in career progression, with 67% of men believing women have equal opportunities for advancement compared to just 36% of women. The findings reinforced the need for structural change, not just awareness.

Carina Filek commented:

“ElevateHER was always intended to move beyond reporting the problem. We’ve listened carefully to what women in our industry have told us, and this policy template is one way of turning that insight into practical action. By sharing it openly, we hope to help businesses take confident, meaningful steps towards creating more supportive environments for women at every stage of their careers.”

The Female Health & Wellbeing Policy Template is available to download via the ElevateHER resource hub, alongside the full research report.
