As we celebrate Women’s History Month, we’d like to acknowledge the milestones and individuals shaping the future of women’s health—especially in menopause. For too long, this normal phase has been overlooked, leaving millions of women to navigate its challenges in silence. However, recent efforts have shed light on the profound impact of menopause, particularly in the workplace, and the advocates working to drive meaningful change. Menopause isn’t just a personal experience—it’s a workplace issue, too. With 20% of the workforce in some stage of menopause, it’s staggering that it remains an afterthought in most professional settings. The consequences are real: a Mayo Clinic study estimates that menopause-related symptoms contribute to an annual economic loss of $1.8 billion in the U.S. due to missed workdays. Despite this, stigma and lack of awareness persist, making the work of menopause advocates more critical than ever. Several individuals have stepped up to challenge outdated narratives and advocate for better support: ???Halle Berry?– After experiencing perimenopause symptoms for a decade before receiving a diagnosis, the award-winning actress launched?Respin Health, a wellness platform supporting women through menopause. She’s also actively involved in legislative efforts to improve menopause care, using her voice to dismantle stigma and push for policy change. ???Tamsen Fadal?– The award-winning journalist and author has emerged as a leading voice in menopause advocacy. Her upcoming book,?How To Menopause: Reclaim Your Health, Take Charge of Your Life and Feel Even Better Than Before, aims to help women navigate menopause with clarity and confidence. Beyond individuals, several organizations are making strides in workplace menopause support and healthcare access. A special shoutout to: - Maven Clinic?– Providing virtual care and expert support for women’s health, including menopause. - WebMD Health Services?– Empowering employees and health coaches with menopause education and resources through corporate wellness programs. - CVS Health?– Leading the way in corporate menopause awareness and benefits, ensuring employees have access to the care and support they need. - Pandia Health?– Advocating for women’s hormonal health and access to care. - Gennev?– Offering menopause-specific healthcare services and resources. - Midi Health?– Specializing in telehealth services tailored to menopause management. Menopause awareness isn’t just about health—it’s about ensuring women feel supported in every stage of life. By uplifting these advocates and organizations, we’re moving closer to a future where menopause is met with understanding, not silence. #WomensHistoryMonth #MenopauseAwareness #EquityAtWork #WorkplaceWellness

On Friday, our CEO, April Haberman, had the pleasure of co-hosting a powerful conversation with Pandia Health and Catherine Hansen MD, MPH about why menopause in the workplace is a critical issue that organizations can no longer afford to ignore. We discussed: ?? How menopause impacts employees’ health, well-being, and performance. ?? The financial and operational costs of not supporting employees through this transition. ?? What businesses can do to create a menopause-inclusive workplace, from policy changes to practical support. The takeaway? A workplace that acknowledges and supports menopause is one that retains talent, boosts productivity, and fosters a culture of inclusion.

If you knew you could save?$250,000 a year, would you make a change? What about?$2 million? Or even?$22 million? That’s what organizations lose due to turnover—just from menopausal employees leaving the workforce. -? 1 in 4 menopausal women consider leaving their jobs?due to lack of support. - The cost to replace a single employee earning $50K??$37,000. Now, do the math. If you're a small company with?100 employees, around?24% are likely in menopause. If?six of them?leave? That’s?a $222,000 loss—just like that. And yet,?menopause support costs far less than losing even one employee. So, the real question is:?Why wouldn’t you create a menopause-friendly workplace? With women 50+ being the?fastest-growing workforce demographic, this isn’t just a conversation.
