Menopause affects most women between the ages of 45 and 55, often during peak career years.1 Symptoms can impact focus, energy, and job performance. While long considered a taboo, more employers and workers are starting to recognize just how menopause can affect women’s careers. In fact, Rhode Island just became the first state to require workplace accommodations for menopause. Is this the start of a national shift? And how can your organization prepare?

Join us as we discuss how employers can help workers navigate menopause in the workplace with compassion and understanding. We’ll discuss:

  • Menopause's typical effects on women's health and work life.

  • Strategies for supporting menopausal employees, including making accommodations.

  • Common benefits of providing a supportive environment at work, often including higher job satisfaction and improved culture.
