Menopausal women are the fastest growing demographic in the workforce.

Yet many workplaces do not offer enough support for women experiencing menopause.

If an employee earning £25,000 per year leaves their job, it will cost their employer more than £30,500 to replace them

With the right support women can continue to work throughout the menopause, bringing with them a wealth of experience and skills.

Negative attitudes in the workplace is costing employers money.

A lack of understanding and support causes people experiencing menopause to:

Lose confidence in their skills and abilities.
Feel like they need to hide their symptoms.
Reduce their productivity.
Take more absences and sick days.
Suffer mental health problems such as stress, anxiety and depression.
Leave their job

Creating a menopause friendly workplace was about culture change for us. Staff know they can openly discuss symptoms and will receive understanding and support. This has helped us retain valuable knowledge and skills, keeping experienced employees. Supporting women benefits both staff and the organisation.
