The lack of workplace menopause benefits may be contributing to the underrepresentation of women in senior executive roles.
Menopause is a significant issue affecting nearly 50% of women in the country, leading to challenges and potential workforce loss.
Companies should actively consider supporting women going through menopause and perimenopause to retain valuable talent.
Recommended actions for companies include facilitating discussions, reviewing workplace policies, and training managers to understand and support employees experiencing menopause.
