In 2020, Rhia Ventures released Hidden Value: The Business Case for Reproductive Health, a groundbreaking report that connects how access to comprehensive reproductive health care impacts a company’s bottom line and the corporate workforce. Prepared in partnership with the consultancy FSG, the report identifies five major factors that argue for making access to reproductive health care a business imperative.

The COVID-19 pandemic is undermining access to time-sensitive and essential reproductive healthcare needs. Read here what companies can do to ensure that their employees get the reproductive healthcare they need during this crisis.
