Harvard Business Review: “Migraines Are a Serious Problem. Employers Can Help.”
An excerpt from Harvard Business Review ,“Migraines Are a Serious Problem. Employers Can Help.”
“Research has shown that migraine — a chronic condition that causes debilitating headaches accompanied by difficulty thinking, changes in vision, nausea, light sensitivity, and other symptoms — affects more than a billion people around the world.
Migraine is ubiquitous and highly disabling, making it a serious issue in terms of both human suffering and employee productivity.
To begin to address this, the author conducted a comprehensive review of the literature and identified three strategies that have been shown to be effective for organizations looking to better support their employees and maximize productivity.
These strategies include
- – raising awareness through education programs,
- – providing employees with tools for migraine management, and
- – making changes to the working environment that expand access to existing health resources and reduce migraine attack triggers.”
