Menopause is a universal life stage for women that has far-reaching economic, social, and health care implications during their working years.
With women making up 75% of the labor workforce for individuals between 25 to 54 years old in the United States according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, it is critical to discuss women’s health experiences, including the menopause transition in the context of workplace engagement.
The Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) conducted the Employee Perspectives and Challenges Concerning the Transition of Menopause (EMPACT Menopause) Study to better understand the workplace experiences of individuals who have entered or completed the menopause transition, as well as their coworkers and employers.
