IT’S TIME TO TALK ABOUT MENOPAUSE IN THE WORKPLACE

By 2025 there will be 1 billion women in menopause globally, currently in Canada 46% of the female workforce are menopausal. Many women struggle to cope with symptoms that impact their quality of life, which ultimately impacts their employment as reduced productivity, more time off work and in some cases, resigning from their job.

The need for education, improving emotional and social support are essential for promoting women’s health during menopause, many companies globally are realising the importance of this, the movement is happening and you should be a part of it.
