The Problem


Menopause can affect employees during some of their most experienced, productive, and leadership intensive working years. Unsupported symptoms can affect attendance, concentration, productivity, confidence, advancement, and retention.

$1.8 Billion

Estimated annual lost work time in the United States associated with unsupported menopause symptoms.

$26.6 Billion

Estimated annual cost of menopause related lost work time and healthcare expenses in the United States, highlighting the broader impact when women don't receive the care and support they need.

80 documented symptoms

that can affect physical, cognitive, emotional, sexual, and overall health, which means menopause support can look very different from one employee to another.

When Menopause Goes Unsupported at Work


When employees don't have the education, understanding, and support they need during menopause, the effects can extend beyond their health and into their work experience, career progression, and economic security.

Turnover costs: 
Losing experienced women means recruiting, hiring, and training replacements. Average cost to replace an employee: $50,000-$150,000.
Lost institutional knowledge:
Women in their 40s and 50s are often your most experienced employees. When they leave, that knowledge walks out the door.
Decreased productivity: 
Women struggling with brain fog, fatigue, and hot flashes aren't performing at their best. You're paying for output you're not getting.
Higher Healthcare Utilization:
When menopause symptoms aren't properly recognized or addressed, employees may spend more time seeking answers, care, and symptom relief.
Damaged Culture
When employees don't feel understood or supported, it can affect morale, trust, communication, and how they experience the workplace.

The Solution


Give employees the education and tools they need to better understand and navigate menopause, while giving managers and leaders the knowledge they need to provide appropriate workplace support.

Comprehensive Menopause Support Works

When you provide real menopause education and support, you get:

Better retention

More supported and productive employees

A stronger workplace culture

Greater employee trust and engagement

Better retention of experienced talent and institutional knowledge


Supporting menopause in the workplace isn't just good for employees. It's good for business.

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!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed the webinar and found it very informative. At 43 I can definitely feel the Perimenopause symptoms but this webinar gave clarity as to why I “feel different” . I especially like the way you present the information so that the viewer/attendee feels comfortable in what many see as an uncomfortable conversation. I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is interested in learning more about Menopause for themselves or as support for a loved one. Keep doing what your doing!"
