Part 10/13:
Menopause’s impact extends into the workplace, where many women experience decreased motivation, confidence, and productivity. A UK study found that over half of menopausal women reported workplace difficulties, with some forced to leave their jobs due to symptoms. This loss of talent poses a significant economic burden, estimated at billions annually worldwide.
Progressive workplaces are beginning to implement support measures such as webinars, flexible hours, and climate-controlled environments. Educating managers about menopause symptoms and accommodations can transform workplaces into supportive spaces. Dr. Curry, an expert on menopause healthcare, advocates for open dialogue and practical adjustments to ease the transition.
