For many people, the topic of menopause has been considered taboo, leaving individuals who experience menopause to quietly manage symptoms out of fear of ageism or bias. However, those going through menopause are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), individuals of menopausal age make up nearly 30% of the labor force.

Employers must recognize the importance of supporting individuals through this life stage. Individuals in their 40s and 50s, who often experience menopausal symptoms, are typically among your most experienced and knowledgeable leaders. They bring invaluable wisdom, serve as mentors, and drive organizational success. By normalizing the conversation around menopause, employers can offer tailored benefits and flexibility that help retain this vital talent.

Additionally, there is a significant gap in menopause management within healthcare, with many individuals left to navigate their symptoms alone. A lack of training in family medicine and OB/GYN practices means that too many people go untreated or feel that nothing can be done. Meaning they are on their own to experiment with what, whom, and where they can find to help.

The goal of this discussion will explore how employers can better support menopausal individuals and highlight the mutual benefits of creating a more inclusive and understanding workplace.
