Menopause in the Workplace: An Emerging Wellness Practice

Free to International Foundation and ISCEBS members

Menopause is a life transition that is often overlooked in the workplace and in benefits offerings, despite the needs of employees in menopause being just as valid as those fully recognized when it comes to pregnancy and infertility. If left unaddressed, the menopause journey may result in an increase in health care costs ($1,700 per person on average) and absenteeism as well as a reduction in productivity. This session will provide wellness strategies for employers and employees to build an inclusive workplace culture that supports women through their menopause journey while enhancing recruitment and retention opportunities.
