WELCOME TO
Menopause in the Workplace!
Menopause is a natural phase of life, yet it’s still a workplace taboo. Without proper support, symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and mood changes can impact performance, well-being, and even career progression. Businesses that acknowledge and support menopausal employees not only foster inclusivity but also improve staff retention, keeping experienced talent engaged and thriving. It’s time to break the silence and create a workplace where women can succeed.........not just survive!
Why Is It Important?
By the end of 2021, over 4.4 million women aged 45+ were employed in the UK.
The average age for menopause is 51, meaning many women are working through their menopausal transition.
Experiences of menopause vary; most women will experience at least one symptom, and up to a third will have severe symptoms impacting quality of life.
Women often report greater difficulty managing symptoms at work and may feel embarrassed or unable to disclose their menopausal status for fear of stigma.
Common workplace challenges include poor concentration, tiredness, memory issues, low mood, and decreased confidence.
Hot flushes at work can increase women’s intention to leave the workforce.
Employers are encouraged to offer awareness and support, such as internal organizational guidance, to help employees navigate this transition.
