Menopause Education for Companies
Empower your organization by addressing a topic that impacts millions but is often overlooked: Menopause. Our workshops provide essential education to equip teams, administrators, and employees with the knowledge they need to foster a supportive, inclusive, and productive work environment.
Why?
Understanding menopause is a critical step in creating a workplace that values well-being and inclusivity. Menopause education boosts employee morale and retention by normalizing conversations around a natural life stage that affects a significant portion of the workforce. When employees feel supported and understood, they are more likely to remain loyal and engaged. Productivity and engagement also improve when employees experiencing menopause are provided with the flexibility and resources they need to manage symptoms such as fatigue, mood changes, and cognitive challenges. By addressing menopause, companies can reduce absenteeism and healthcare costs while fostering an inclusive culture that breaks taboos and demonstrates care for all employees.
Who?
Our workshops are designed for everyone in the organization. Team members and peers benefit by gaining insights into how they can better support colleagues experiencing menopause, leading to stronger collaboration and mutual respect. Managers and administrators learn tools and strategies to create flexible policies, accommodations, and workplace practices that empower employees at this life stage to thrive. Human resources professionals receive guidance on implementing best practices, from inclusive wellness initiatives to enhanced benefits programs, ensuring that their workplace policies reflect the needs of their workforce.
Impact
Menopause is not just a women’s health issue—it is a workplace issue that affects everyone. Studies show that one in four women consider leaving their jobs due to menopause symptoms, which can lead to significant organizational impacts. When teams and administrators understand the realities of menopause, they can break stigmas, promote equity, and create an environment where all employees feel valued and supported. By addressing menopause in the workplace, companies can unlock the full potential of their workforce and foster a culture of inclusivity and understanding.
Investing in menopause education is an investment in your people and your company’s success. Contact us today to schedule a workshop tailored to your organization’s unique needs. Together, we can build a workplace where every employee can thrive.
The Mayo Clinic study provides valuable insights into how menopause symptoms can impact workplace productivity and the broader economic implications. According to the research, menopause-related symptoms—such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, hot flashes, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating—result in a substantial number of missed workdays. The study estimated that these absences collectively cost U.S. employers $1.8 billion annually.
In addition to absenteeism, presenteeism (when employees are physically present but unable to perform at their full capacity due to symptoms) further compounds the issue. Many women report struggling to maintain their usual productivity levels while managing disruptive symptoms, especially in workplaces that lack awareness or accommodations for menopause.
These findings underscore the importance of workplace education and support systems to mitigate the economic and human costs of menopause. By addressing menopause proactively—through educational workshops, policy changes, and flexible work arrangements—companies can reduce absenteeism, enhance employee engagement, and foster a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture. Investing in these efforts not only benefits employees but also positively impacts a company’s bottom line by retaining experienced talent and minimizing productivity losses.
