SUMMARY:The Impact of Menopause on Women’s Health: A Work-Life-Health Initiative
DESCRIPTION:Menopause is a universal life stage for women with far-reaching economic\, social\, and health care implications on their personal and professional lives. Approximately 6000 women reach menopause every day\, and many with symptoms that range from hot flashes and genitourinary symptoms to brain fog and sleep disturbances. \nDespite the vast number of women experiencing life disruptions during the menopause transition\, accessible treatment options and education to navigate their care are limited. Moreover\, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics\, women aged 45-54 years have a 75% participation rate in the labor workforce. With the average age of menopause being 51\, it is important for employers to recognize women’s health experiences\, especially during the menopause transition\, for optimal talent recruitment and retention. SWHR’s Employee Perspectives and Challenges Concerning the Transition of Menopause (EMPACT Menopause) Study found that only 3% of employees or supervisors reported having menopause-specific policies in place at work. Organizational support in promoting midlife health and wellness and enabling women\, their coworkers\, and employers to contribute to its values and success is key to managing menopause in the workplace for inclusive and productive work environments for all employees. \nSWHR convened an interdisciplinary Menopause Equity Working Group of health care providers\, researchers\, patient advocates\, human resource specialists\, and health care policy leaders for a closed\, roundtable meeting in January 2025. During the roundtable\, the Working Group discussed the impact of menopause on women’s health\, with an emphasis on navigating patient care and the workplace. \nThis is an SWHR Event.
