Migraine disease is a common yet often misunderstood neurological condition affecting a significant portion of the global workforce. Despite its impact on employee health and business performance, migraine remains undertreated and stigmatized, particularly in the workplace.

• Provide Access to Migraine Treatment
• Combat Stigma and Promote Your Resources
• Manage Migraine Triggers in the Workplace
• Address Underlying Causes of Workplace Stress

Employers can implement the strategies outlined in this guide to create a more inclusive and supportive workplace for employees with migraine, ultimately improving employee health and business performance.
