The Black Women’s Health Imperative Fairworx Initiative™

FairWorx can move organizations toward this reality.

FairWorx is the only AI-driven tool that de-risks corporate language, policies, procedures, and public-facing media for bias as it relates to race, ethnicity, gender, gender-identify, age, and ability.

FairWorx provides corporate and institutional leaders with actionable data to lower employee recruitment, retention and healthcare costs by more than 15% and measurably improve productivity and employee engagement.

By (1) identifying issues; (2) predicting trends; (3) developing customized strategies; and (4) measuring progress, FairWorx recognizes how health, social and economic outcomes in the modern workplace affect performance, wellness, and, ultimately, organizational goals.

Why is FairWorx needed?

Studies show that the workplace does not promote wellness for individuals from historically marginalized groups, particularly women of color. They feel:.

Invisible
Questioned
Undervalued
Burdened

All of these feelings result in individuals becoming stressed and disengaged, causing poor employee health outcomes and poor organizational outcomes.

Poor Outcomes = High Costs

67%

67% of employees are disengaged, which results in reduced productivity, absenteeism, and high turnover

3400

Employee disengagement costs employers $3400 for every $10,000 an employee earns annually.

45.1%

By 2023, 45.1% of the U.S. population will have some form of cardiovascular disease.

1100

By 2023, 45.1% of the U.S. population will have some form of cardiovascular disease.

Work-related stress is not only detrimental for workers’ pyschophysical health but also costly to societies… In general, production-related costs compromised the largest proportion of the estimated costs, constituting approximately 70-90%. Conversely, the remaining 10to 30% of the estimated costs were borne by the healthcare system and associated medical costs.

The Business Imperative

Over the past decade, the number of S&P 500 companies reporting on CSR and ESG efforts has increased by 780%. Investment in effective working environments is no longer an option, but an expectation of investors, regulators, market talent, and consumers. The link between improved working environments and company performance is unquestionable. According to Gartner, companies that invest in good corporate citizenship, health, and well being see dramatic improvements to business performance across all meaningful metrics:

1 CORPORATE VALUE

+5% market share
+69% stock valuation
+60% stakeholder value

2 OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES

-40% cost of debt
+200% decision quality
+$1.3BN 15y added value

3 BUSINESS OUTCOMES

+20% revenue
+83% brand affinity
+60% customer loyalty

4 CORPORATE HEALTH

+13% employee productivity
+8 employee engagement
-50% employee turnover

Our proprietary research on Black women’s “felt” experiences in the workplace revealed:

1

31% of respondents felt a lack of alignment with

- Existing employer DEI policies
- Existing programs and efforts to promote employee wellness

2 Black women’s efforts to protect themselves in the workplace, are often negatively perceived by managers and non-Black co-workers.

- Resulting in lower job performance rankings and/or stalled career advancement.

Despite over $32BN of annual funding of ESG, DEI, and CSR efforts, the return on this investment for companies has been opaque at best. This is because at the organizational level, no platform meaningfully measures all aspects of a healthy workplace, and ties investment directly to tangible business results.

At FairWork, we empower organizations who are committed to improving health outcomes in the modern workplace, while driving business results. We have created a proprietary data and AI platform that helps organizations assess their current state, identify opportunities, and implement strategies that transform working environments, customer relationships, operational excellence, and investability

It’s sad to say, I just put on brave face and ‘fake it till I make it.’ You have to think of the bigger picture. I don’t want to be here long term, but I need this job…"
