How Menopause Affects Business
Menopausal women are, demographically, the fastest growing group of workers in the UK.
According to a recent survey conducted by the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development ( CIPD ) there are currently around 4.5 million women aged 50 and over in employment. Despite this there is a distinct lack of support for women in the workplace as they transition through this challenging phase of their life. Irrespective of the size and demographics of your organisation your employees will, in some way be affected by menopause either directly or indirectly.
Many highly skilled, experienced and valuable female employees are either giving up their careers prematurely or are absent from work for long periods of time due to debilitating physical, emotional and psychological symptoms of the menopause. The Office of National Statistics states that 10% of women left their jobs due to menopausal symptoms while 26% took time off work, of which 22% took more than one month off or even longer. Findings released by the UK’s leading menopause support app “Balance” show the true cost of the menopause on the country’s economy at a staggering £10 billion!
Many firms offer private health insurance as an employee benefit however appointments and treatments associated with the menopause are not covered under these plans as, alarmingly, private health insurance companies don’t consider the menopause to be “serious”.
Many younger women are also affected by menopausal symptoms due to premature ovarian insufficiency or surgical menopause caused by cancer treatments or hysterectomy. Men too can also be significantly affected by the menopause whether through personal experience with a partner or through difficulties within the workplace with female colleagues.
