Workplace Wellness:
Supporting Menopause at Work
In Australia approximately 20% of the workforce are moving through the Menopause Transition. These women are highly valued and often central to operations and management. Unfortunately, most workplaces are aren’t thinking about menopause nor supporting women move through this major life transition.
Let’s fix this!
The 2023 Report Menopause and the Workplace (n=714) revealed 83% people felt menopause had negatively impacted their work. It reported that 47% of workplaces significantly lacked (and 46% moderately lacked) managerial and cultural awareness about menopause, as well as not providing supports nor resources for women moving through menopause.
45% of the women surveyed had contemplated retiring due to the disruptions of their menopause coupled with the lack of empathy, inclusion and understanding in their workplaces.
Expand your company’s capacity to embrace, respect and support this important life process with engaging education that increases recognition and understanding in the workplace. Health education about menopause increases understanding about this natural maturation process; both the problems and the benefits it brings. This helps establish a culture of empathy and helps develop appropriate workplace supports and flexibility to retain valued and skilled people.
Supportive understanding, empathy, inclusion and greater flexibility are what working women going through menopause are asking for.
The 2023 Victorian Women’s Health Survey of 1,772 Victorians reported that 1 in 3 women were impacted by menopausal symptoms. Some shared how their experiences of fatigue and brain fog impacted both work and life.
There are empowering and positive perspectives about menopause, as well as effective lifestyle and natural remedies that can help these women through what is often a tricky time.
Reap the business benefits of having healthy, mature women on your team.
Let’s discuss your workplace needs.
