Doctor led menopause education

Supporting women and businesses to raise awareness in the workplace

Facts

An increasing number of women are actively participating in the workforce. By the end of 2021, over 4.4 million women in the UK aged 45-60 were employed.

With the average age of menopause being 51, a significant proportion of working women will experience this life transition while still in their careers.

While menopause is a universal experience, its effects on daily life—especially at work—can be profound.

When symptoms are not managed effectively, many women are at risk of leaving the workforce prematurely. Research indicates that as many as 10% of women may exit their careers due to menopause, with 25% considering it.

Challenges

Many women report difficulties in concentration, memory, or mood regulation, and physical symptoms such as fatigue can interfere with their ability to perform at their best. In a third of women, these symptoms shall be severe.

In the work place, these symptoms can often be more challenging, particularly for professional women who may already be managing demanding roles, relationships, and family responsibilities.

It’s important to recognize that menopause-related symptoms are not just a personal health issue but a workplace concern.
