Menopause at Work

Building Awareness, Fostering Understanding, and Creating More Supportive Workplaces

Menopause is a natural life transition, yet its impact on employees and workplaces is often overlooked or misunderstood.

For many women, menopause occurs during some of their most professionally active years. Symptoms such as disrupted sleep, fatigue, anxiety, hot flashes, and difficulty concentrating can affect well-being and workplace experiences.

Creating a menopause-supportive workplace doesn't have to be complicated or costly. It starts with awareness, informed leadership, and practical supports that help employees thrive.

Why Menopause Matters at Work

Canadian research highlights the importance of workplace awareness:

• 95% of women surveyed experience menopause symptoms.

• 32% report that symptoms negatively affect their work performance.

• 1 in 10 may leave their jobs due to unmanaged menopause symptoms.

Menopause is more than a health conversation. It's an opportunity to strengthen employee well-being, inclusion, engagement, and retention.
