An increasing number of working women are navigating the challenges of menopause while remaining active in their careers.
Each year, more than one million women in the U.S. enter menopause, many of whom are part of the workforce. While menopause typically begins around age 51, symptoms can emerge much earlier, affecting women’s well-being and productivity. At the same time, women over 55 represent one of the fastest-growing segments of the labor market. As this demographic continues to expand, it’s crucial for workplaces to recognize and address the unique needs of menopausal employees, fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment.
