Menopause marks a significant new chapter in women’s lives, one which is often accompanied by major physical, cognitive, and psychological changes. These changes can affect both personal wellbeing and performance at work. In fact, over one in three women experience career setbacks due to menopause, and one in ten may leave their job entirely.1

This poses a clear challenge for organizations, which would greatly benefit from making menopause a focus.

Our latest white paper Menopause and work: creating an inclusive environment encourages group insurance plan sponsors to take action to enhance the total wellbeing of their workforce, particularly women.

Our specialists take an in-depth look at menopause, offering insights on:

  • The wide range of effects associated with this natural transition, which is often overlooked or downplayed
  • The impacts of menopause on women’s careers and organizations
  • How employers can make a positive difference for women going through menopause with supportive workplace policies
  • The services, coverage, resources, and tools that employers can include in group plans that will truly support women

This booklet provides insights to help plan sponsors respond to the impacts of menopause—enhancing the total wellbeing of women and their workforce, boosting productivity, and fostering a more compassionate and inclusive workplace environment.
