49% of women have considered leaving their jobs due to menopause symptoms...
That is not a wellbeing statistic, it is a workplace retention, inclusion and leadership issue.
Behind this figure are experienced employees questioning whether they can continue in roles they value, often while trying to manage symptoms quietly and without support. For organisations, this represents a loss of talent, knowledge and confidence that could be avoided with the right awareness, conversations and practical adjustments.
Creating menopause aware workplaces is not complicated, but it does require intention. Education, supportive policies and confident line managers make a meaningful difference to whether people feel able to stay, contribute and thrive.
Menopause is not an individual problem to solve alone. It is a workplace reality that organisations can choose to respond to proactively.
If your organisation has not yet explored menopause training, policies, or wider support, now is the time to start the conversation. Find out more about how we support employers over on our website.
