Empowering Workplaces: The Ongoing Impact of QENDO's EndoAware Program
Since its inception in 2018, QENDO's EndoAware Workplace Program has been at the forefront of transforming Australian workplaces into supportive environments for individuals affected by endometriosis and related conditions.Recognizing the profound impact of endometriosis on professional lives, QENDO initiated this program to foster awareness, education, and actionable support within the workplace.

The EndoAware Workplace Program offers a comprehensive suite of resources and training modules designed to educate employers and employees alike.

• Workshops: Interactive sessions that provide insights into endometriosis, its impact on work, and strategies for support

• Policy Development: Guidance on creating and implementing workplace policies that accommodate the needs of those affected.

• Support Services: Access to QENDO's helpline, mentor programs, and the QENDO app, which offers resources for symptom tracking and management.

Feedback from participating organisations underscores the program's effectiveness. One Australian fuel company noted, "Excellent content, highly interactive, and a good chance to ask questions with experts. I feel much more confident managing my staff with endometriosis and peri-menopause."

Moreover, the program's influence extends beyond individual workplaces. By promoting open conversations about endometriosis, EndoAware contributes to a broader societal shift towards recognising and accommodating chronic health conditions in professional settings.

As QENDO continues to expand the EndoAware Workplace Program, the focus remains on collaboration and continuous improvement. Employers are encouraged to participate, not only to support their staff but also to foster inclusive and compassionate workplace cultures.
