Comments from Enrique Rodriguez Llado, Operational Excellence Director and Guillaume Richard, Health and Safety Manager at Louis Vuitton
What were the challenges linked to this preventive action?
Every year, preventative measures are implemented in the Sarras workshops. This year, the Louis Vuitton workshops wanted to go even further by offering preventative gynecological care in the workplace for all female production employees. We keep saying it: medical deserts, increasingly long waiting times for appointments. Access to healthcare is becoming more and more difficult. It's not surprising to read that one in three women hasn't seen a gynecologist in two years. Organizing an appointment in the workplace has a dual purpose: to allow women to...’talk to a healthcare professional in complete privacy and ensure preventive medical monitoring for all female pathologies. It is also a way of to raise awareness on the importance of regular medical follow-up.
What actions have been implemented with Medisur?

Each employee was invited to book an appointment with our midwife. This preventative gynecological follow-up appointment included a personalized consultation and a complete breast examination with a midwife, allowing each employee to assess her intimate health.

What were the profits of this preventive action?

Facilitating access to workplace healthcare is essential to strengthen employee well-being. At the same time, this raises their awareness to better preserve their health. Thanks to this type of monitoring, it is often possible to detect early disease signals. This also encourages carry out examinations more in-depth medical information.

These preventive measures as part of a company health policy have a direct impact on the HRQoL of each employee, but also on direct performance. Ultimately, these initiatives demonstrate a company's interest in the well-being of its employees, which contributes to encourage their commitment.
