Menopause Talks

Menopause in the workplace

Why does menopause have a place in the workplace?

• Women experience menopause during working years. Average age for menopause is 51, 1 in 100 experience menopause under the age of 40
• The effects of the symptoms experienced through menopause can be disabling for women which means that employers who fail to properly support women could be found to be discriminatory
• 1 in 3 employers do not feel well equipped to support menopausal women
• Over 50% of women can recall at least one time when they were unable to go into work due to menopausal symptoms
• 1 in 4 woman consider leaving their jobs, 1 in 10 do.

And yet with 51% of the UK population experiencing menopause in some way, there is still a gap in workplace support.

This gap leads to disengagement, attrition, brand damage and does not just impact peri and post menopausal women.
