The Importance of Menopause Awareness in the Workplace
About 13 million people are currently perimenopausal or menopausal in the UK. This is equivalent to a third of the entire UK female population. Almost 80% of people experiencing menopause are in work. Most, but not all, of these people are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms. 14 million working days are lost each year to menopause. Many women leave work because menopause symptoms make things too difficult for them. A greater understanding of menopause issues and treatments could greatly reduce the cost to businesses.
