Peri/Menopause Policy
Why Do Companies Need a Menopause Policy?
Companies need a Menopause Policy in order to retain and attract experienced, midlife women. It makes a great addition to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) program, and it makes good business sense.
In the UK, where Menopause Policies have already been in use for some years, there are some good business reasons developing for adding such a policy.
In the past 20 years, the number of women in the workforce has increased by 50%.
Over 60% of women aged 38-55 said symptoms of perimenopause had an impact on their work.
As many as 15% of women leave their work because of challenging symptoms. This number is rising with the “Great Break-up” as women seek out companies that are more responsive to their needs.
Estimated to cause a global productivity loss of $150 billion per year.
In the UK, employers could be losing 14 million workdays a year due to people taking time off to treat their symptoms.
Since perimenopause – the transition period into menopause – can last for 3-15 years, women can benefit from a menopause policy for quite a few years. And for many women, reaching menopause doesn’t spell the end of the symptoms.
Research is showing that companies that introduce a menopause policy are able to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity, boost loyalty, save money on replacement hiring, and build their DEI profile. Here’s how the DEI metrics can improve:
Increase numbers of women in leadership positions
Reduce attrition and absenteeism levels
Reduce the gender-based wage gap

Briefing to leaders on the business case for a Menopause Policy

Training of an internal “go-to” person
Content to be used on an internal corporate platform (Intranet/Slack/Teams)
