Stop telling women to talk about menopause at work

More than half of symptomatic women say they’d feel comfortable telling a manager about menopause. Just 21% actually have. Here’s what employers are missing.

Recently, menopause has gone from taboo to mainstream, with celebrities turning “the change” into a status symbol and vocal clinicians becoming household names. Those brave women paved the way for more conversation, catalyzing focus and research on women’s health, and we should all be grateful. But what happens in media and pop culture rarely transfers to corporate culture.
