Worldwide, there are roughly 300+ million working women aged 45-59 who are impacted by menopause. While attitudes and stigma around menopause vary across regions, one thing is clear: workplaces need to do more to support employees going through it.
Upcoming research from Catalyst highlights that more than one-third of women employees say their menopause symptoms negatively impact work performance. The cost? An estimated $1.8 billion per year in the US alone.
The question for HR and talent leaders isn’t whether to provide support for employees going through perimenopause and menopause, it’s how quickly they can meet the demand: 84% of employees globally agree that workplaces need to do more. The door is open for smart, inclusive business leaders to break the stigma of menopause at work and build a corporate culture and benefits structure that encourages authenticity, dialogue, and support.
Watch this webinar to hear our panel of experts discuss:
- The importance of destigmatizing menopause in the workplace and opening the door to empathetic dialogues between managers and reports.
- How to build an organizational culture that offers support for common challenges of menopause.
- Why building resource structures for employees with menopause benefits every employee at every level of the organization.
