How can migraine education, specifically in the workplace, help increase employee productivity?
Well, 1 thing that employers can do is offer a workplace-based migraine education program. We [American Express] offered one several years ago, and several times subsequently. Initially, 500 employees signed up for it and eventually we had over 1500 employees complete the program.
