The need for perimenopausal and menopausal support in the workplace is only going to grow as more millennial and Gen X women start these phases of life. The more employers do to provide the right assistance, the more likely they are to retain this crucial talent.

Thirty-seven percent of millennials and 59% of Gen X said their employer does not provide menopause benefits.
