Our team of medical experts in the field and highly experienced business professionals can support you in enabling a menopause inclusive workplace.
the power of supporting menopause in your workplace
Did you know that menopausal women aged 45-55 years are the fastest-growing demographic in the workplace?
This highly experienced group of women is growing, but their wellbeing at work is not always top of mind in boardroom discussions around inclusivity. Women experiencing menopause are exiting the workforce, leaving a knowledge and expertise gap, that business has taken so long to bridge.
Menopause can also affect women in their 20s and 30s. But menopause is still considered a taboo topic in many workplaces. Everyone in the workplace should have an understanding and appreciation of what menopause is, its symptoms, how it can affect people at work and the range of support available in the workplace. Menopause Alliance Australia believes that no woman should be left behind!
Ensuring that your workforce is equipped to adapt to our changing and diverse societal shifts is essential to future-proof your most valuable asset, your employees, across all life stages.
If your diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I) policy does not address menopause inclusivity it's time to do so now.

MENOPAUSE INCLUSIVITY IN THE CONTEXT OF DE&I
The business case for diversity, equity and inclusion is stronger than ever. Employers in Australia have an important role to play in supporting women by providing an inclusive workplace environment so they can continue performing and contributing to their full potential without stigma or
embarrassment.
It's also well documented that organisations that consider diversity and inclusion as a strategic imperative rather than a compliance issue perform better.
Prevent and manage psychosocial risks
Depression and anxiety are experienced at higher rates among those going through menopausal transition. Creating a workplace that supports the mental and physical wellbeing of those experiencing menopause will strengthen your psychosocial organisational strategy.
Benefits of menopause inclusivity
Recognising the inevitability of menopause and creating an inclusive environment for female employees of all ages not only improves an organisation's performance, but also creates a healthy and diverse environment in which to work. Because menopause is not just a women's issue, it's a societal one - that impacts workplaces, home life and communities.
Driving Progess
Supporting those experiencing menopause symptoms in the workplace will drive real progress towards meeting your DE&I targets, as you end up with greater knowledge transfer and greater mentoring, which enhances your organisational productivity.
In 2021, 'Circle In' surveyed women about their experience of menopause in the workplace. Of these, the majority were going through, or had gone through menopause. Results from this survey clearly show the impact of menopause on the workforce if poorly managed by employers.
