Practical Steps for
Workplace Menopause
Awareness
Education & Training: Companies can
provide training for managers and
employees on what menopause is and
how it can impact work.
Flexible Work Policies: Continue to
offer remote work options, flexible
hours, or even spaces for those
struggling with hot flashes can make a
huge difference.
Health & Wellbeing Programs:
Incorporating menopause-friendly
wellness initiatives, such as nutrition
guidance, yoga classes, or stress
management workshops, can be lifechanging.
Open Conversations: Encouraging
mentorship, peer support groups, or
even casual discussions can help
remove stigma and create a culture of
inclusivity.
Let’s Speak Louder
We, as women, need to speak louder
about menopause – not in hushed tones
or private Facebook groups, but in
boardrooms, team meetings, and
performance reviews. It’s time for
workplaces to acknowledge this natural
life stage and create environments where
women feel supported, not sidelined.
If you’re going through menopause or
even just starting to think about it, know
this: you are not alone. There is strength
in community, power in knowledge, and
freedom in embracing this phase of life
rather than fearing it. Let’s keep the
conversation going, not just for ourselves
but for the generations of women coming
after us.
So, let’s ask the question again: Are we
being heard? And if the answer is no, let’s
make sure we change that.
