Four employees sit around a desk under Migraine at Work logo

Migraine is a chronic and often debilitating condition, ranking as the second leading cause of disability worldwide.

Affecting 1 in 6 people, migraine impacts nearly every workplace in the country. Yet, despite its prevalence and significant costs, awareness and understanding of migraine in the workplace remain low. This often leads to a lack of support, unintended stigma, and bias against employees with migraine.

According to the Harvard Business Review, migraine costs U.S. companies $13 billion annually, and the Headache and Migraine Policy Forum estimates a $78 billion loss when combining direct and indirect costs. Fortunately, affordable education and accommodation programs can yield over a 500% return on investment (ROI) while enhancing employee wellness, satisfaction, and retention.

Migraine at Work educates organizations on the needs of employees living with migraine. Our mission is to equip employers and employees with the tools to foster healthier, stigma-free, and more productive workplaces.

We provide resources on education, accommodations, and workplace programs and seminars to help employees with migraine thrive—not just survive—in the workplace.
