# Together, let's expand access, maximize cost controls, and ensure quality weight care for all.

 

## Society hasn’t normalized weight health support…yet

![64% of people have experienced shape-based teasing](https://business.weightwatchers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/img-stat-1-Jul-10-2024-01-51-08-4202-PM.png?width=400&height=394&name=img-stat-1-Jul-10-2024-01-51-08-4202-PM.png "64% of people have experienced shape-based teasing")

Let’s shift to end weight stigma and bias in the workplace by creating a normal where bias is banished.
