For many women in the workforce, their menopause experience is less than ideal - they may be experiencing a wide range of physical and cognitive symptoms that they’re forced to try to hide due to a rigid workplace. Even worse, they may have reason to fear discrimination if they speak up. 83% of respondents told us that they feel that their perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms impact their ability to work, but only 1% of respondents have any type of menopausal support at work.

Many are also unprepared for the effects of menopause - 85% of respondents told us that they don’t feel like they know enough about menopause in the first place and 59% of respondents felt less than confident managing perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms.

These numbers speak for themselves - women are actively looking for more support and knowledge when it comes to managing menopause. The push for menopausal equity happens on many fronts, but business leaders have a central role to play in ensuring that women are supported throughout this time in their lives and it starts with inclusive, educational women’s health benefits that help build a welcoming culture for all employees.
