"Empowering Menopausal Women in the Workplace and Beyond"

A new movement to create "menopause-friendly workplaces" is catching on in the US, beginning in New York City, as employers realize that offering help is a way to retain experienced women in the workforce. More than 50 British organizations are now certified as "menopause-friendly" through an accreditation developed by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace. Policies include training about symptoms, physical accommodations like desk fans and modified uniforms, and more flexible schedules. Employers are also contracting with companies that offer virtual appointments with providers trained in menopause care.
