23 Aug

In this post, we'll discuss how menopause affects men and the ways that you can help your employees adjust. We'll also look at some of the challenges that men face during this time and offer some tips for managing those workplaces challenges.

As women approach menopause, their bodies undergo many changes. While these changes can be difficult for women to deal with, they also affect men in the workplace too.

Change the conversation to change the outcome

Firstly conversations need to change and everyone needs to get over the taboo of 'menopause' being an off the table or shameful discussion. It needs to be 'on the table' and women must not feel that they are at personal penalty for doing so. Supporting the health and wellbeing of women is a business matter and it’s every manager’s responsibility to include women's health needs openly.
