Did you know…
Women experiencing hot flashes had 121% higher utilization of healthcare resources and nearly 60% more work productivity loss days compared to women without symptoms
A 2019 survey by a U.K. organization focused on improving the workplace found that 30% of those surveyed said they’d taken sick leave due to menopausal symptoms
Most women experience menopause at the same time they hit their professional prime
73% of women ages 40 to 65 said they were not treating their menopause symptoms

According to Forbes the average replacement cost to rehire someone is 33% of their salary
Team members are 3x more likely to explore other jobs if they don’t feel supported

What can companies do to mitigate these costs?
-
Most women were never taught what to expect from perimenopause and menopause. When you provide education and accessible resources, you give team members the tools to advocate for themselves, seek proper care sooner, and reduce the endless cycle of doctor visits and productivity loss from untreated symptoms.
-
Menopause is not just a women’s issue—it’s a workplace issue. When leaders and managers are educated, it builds empathy, reduces stigma, and creates a culture where people feel safe discussing their challenges and asking for support—without fear of judgment or consequence.
-
Empowerment and education are only effective when backed by action. Offer flexible work options, wellness initiatives, and benefits that acknowledge this life stage. When companies proactively support their team members through perimenopause and menopause, retention improves, absenteeism drops, and loyalty (and the bottom line!) grows.
Implementing supportive measures may lead to reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, lower healthcare costs and reduced attrition.
