Menopause is a natural condition that affects all women at some stage of their life and approximately 80% have symptoms related to their menopause. Coping with menopausal symptoms at work can be difficult and many women are reluctant to talk to their employer about it considering the subject “taboo”. The average age of menopause is 51 years, this is often an age when women have more senior and stressful jobs that can sometimes be challenging to handle alongside menopause symptoms. Since women represent nearly half of the labor force, we need to shift our thinking and start considering menopause as mainstream and as important as any other occupational health issue.
