Email Template for RMH Champions
Our vision is for all workers to have access to comprehensive, quality reproductive and maternal healthcare and workplace benefits. To realize that vision, we need leaders like you. Thank you for being an ally in this work, and for being a champion for change inside of your organization.
Below is an email template that we’ve drafted for you. Our suggestion is that you copy this text, personalize it to reflect why this work matters for you (personal anecdotes and stories are especially powerful, if you’re comfortable sharing with your colleagues), and send it to your teammates who lead the Benefits/ HR function.
We have found that when stakeholders like you introduce our work to internal teams and elevate why this matters and how it can benefit your company, it can go a long way to activating new partners and champions.
If you have questions or need anything from us, email info@rmhcompass.org.
Dear XXX,
I wanted to share a new initiative that could be beneficial to our organization. Developed by Reproductive & Maternal Health Compass—the organization that launched the first-ever standard and benchmark for reproductive and maternal health benefits—this initiative provides practical guidance and tools to help employers become leaders in supporting reproductive and maternal health.
[INSERT WHY RMH matters to you, including how RMH benefits or workplace policies have helped or hindered your career and how it connects between personal life and professional life.]
Data shows that RMH benefits are important to the whole workforce.
71% of U.S. workers cite women’s reproductive health as the most pressing social issue
1 in 3 workers would trade a pay raise for stronger benefits
73% of workers say healthcare benefits would increase their loyalty
2nd most common reason people leave a job is to seek better health benefits—right after higher pay
The value to our business is clear too. By benchmarking our RMH benefits and taking meaningful steps to communicate how we support our workers, our company can:
Increase trust by reassuring our colleagues that the benefits we offer are built to meet their needs across life stages during life’s critical moments.
Attract and retain top talent. As more workers make career decisions based on caregiving and health-related benefits, taking this benchmark can help us stay competitive in a shifting talent market.
Maximize ROI on benefits we already offer by empowering our colleagues to confidently understand and use the benefits available to them.
RMH Compass has developed a quick, easy way to generate benchmarks for participating companies. By sending them a few documents outlining our benefits and policies, they will be able to populate our survey and validate our data.
I’m proud of our organization’s leadership in this area and look forward to getting a benchmark and possibly qualifying for RMH Compass’ accreditation for top-performing employers.
I’d love to schedule a time for us to speak with members of their client success team to discuss their process and get started on our survey. Who from our HR/Benefits team should be involved in this?
Many thanks,
Your Name
