Friday Knowledge - Menopause
How do we menopause-proof the workplace - what can companies and organisations do?
64 % of menopausal women experience symptoms, and 25 % say it affects their work. This makes menopause an important issue for all businesses and organisations - both at management level and for employees.
- What responsibility do companies and organisations have to make the workplace menopause-proof?
- What are the consequences of not menopause-proofing the workplace?
- How can we work proactively to reduce symptoms and create a better working environment for menopausal employees?
