Here are some ways to raise awareness of endometriosis in the workplace:
How do you bring this up with your employer?
If you don’t feel comfortable discussing this with your manager, request an appointment with an occupational health physician. This consultation will allow you to ask for specific accommodations to make your day-to-day life easier.
The option to apply for RQTH
: You can prepare an application for RQTH (recognition of status as a worker with a disability) with the help of your primary care physician. You also cannot be terminated because of your disability—in this case, your endometriosis.
Apply to a company that’s committed to this issue
Do you feel like this topic is still taboo at your company? Do you even feel like you’re missing out on certain opportunities because of your condition? It might be time to consider changing employers.
