More than a billion women in the world are expected to hit menopause this year, which is roughly one‑fifth of the global workforce. Yet many employers haven’t put the tools and policies in place to help them manage this natural transition.
Menopause can bring hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue and other symptoms that affect energy levels and focus at work. When jobs don’t offer flexible schedules, on‑site health resources, or a supportive culture, women may feel pressured to hide their discomfort or take time off without support.
Companies that respond proactively can reduce absenteeism and keep talented staff engaged. Simple steps—such as offering adjustable shifts, training managers on menopause awareness, or providing access to counseling—can make a big difference.
Investing in menopause-friendly workplaces isn’t just good ethics; it’s good business. Women who feel supported are more likely to stay, fetch higher performance, and bring fresh ideas to the table. In a climate where gender equity and employee wellbeing are in the spotlight, ignoring menopause support is a missed opportunity for progress.
