Menopause Support In The Workplace
Menopause Is a Workforce Issue.
Here's What It's Costing Your Organization.Ā
Menopause affects 1 in 4 women in your workforce right now. And the majority of them are your most experienced, highest-performing employees at the peak of their careers.
Most are suffering in silence. Many are considering leaving.
Not because they want to. Because they don't have the support, education, or resources to manage what's happening to them at work. And because most organizations have never addressed it.
This is a business problem.
Unaddressed menopause in the workplace shows up in ways that never get labeled as menopause on any report. They show up as:
- Increased absenteeism
- Declining productivity
- Disengagement
- Preventable turnover of experienced talent
Replacing a mid-career employee costs between 50% and 200% of their annual salary. Menopause education and support costs a fraction of that.
The organizations acting on this now are protecting their talent, their culture, and their bottom line. The ones waiting are paying for it whether they realize it or not.
The window to get ahead of this is now. Not next quarter.

"I attended Tafiq's webinar and thoroughly enjoyed it! Tafiq was engaging and knowledgeable - incorporating his training as a Menopause Champion with his vast knowledge of nutrition, health, and fitness. He focused on one of the most important aspects - raising awareness of menopause and educating those in the workplace so women in this life stage can get the support they need from those they work with, and companies can improve culture and retention. I would highly recommend others to engage with Tafiq on menopause workplace education!"
