Menopause in the Workplace

Helping break down the taboo.

Nationwide there are approximately 400,000 women of menopausal age employed within our workplaces, and yet few have a menopause policy.

A NZ survey of over 4000 women in 2022, outlined the impact of menopause in the workplace. 84% of women stated that their menopause symptoms had negatively impacted their work. One in six women reporting having had thoughts about quitting their jobs and sadly 12% did. Only 14% of women felt well supported within their workplaces.

In 2023, the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists studied the impact of menopause on their female doctors. 80% of female anaesthetists reported having symptoms that affected their physical and mental health. 65% said menopause affected their ability to work with 24% reporting experiencing a significant impact. 36% said they had either made their own changes to the way they work or would like to. This study also highlighted that some anaesthetists were having to make the difficult decision to transition away from leadership roles because of the effect of their menopause symptoms.

The results from these two NZ studies echo other worldwide study findings which consistently show the negative impact that menopause has within workplaces. We work with organisations to break down the taboo associated with menopause and explore how they can create a supportive menopause culture.

Menopause & the Workplace

Creating a positive work environment

Menopause presents employers with significant staff well-being, financial and employee retention implications. We work with organisations to develop a supportive and open menopause culture that enhances staff well-being, attendance at work and supports staff retention.

We offer a range of seminars and workshops to raise awareness and educate staff about menopause and how it relates to the workplace. We also support organisations to create strategies and policies which underpin the development of a supportive menopause workforce culture. We know that every organisation is different and will have individual requirements and as such our seminars and workshops can be customised to suit the needs of your organisation.

Menopause & Wellness' menopause presentation was clear, well-researched and informative. As a postmenopausal woman, I was fascinated by their explanation of the influence of oestrogen on every body system and that there were another 30 symptoms I hadn't realised were attributable to the changes in the balance of hormones. The way they explained the jigsaw of symptoms and the range of appropriate treatment was brilliant and gives hope. The cardiac implications were very sobering. I messaged my daughters and sisters as soon as I got home from the training to get them to check out their services. Thank you.

I was extremely impressed with the quality of the presentation. Time flew by and I was fully absorbed by the material presented. I feel like I have a much better understanding of perimenopause, menopause and the post-menopausal period. They were an amazing presenter, knowledgeable and relevant. Fantastic evening and full of information all women should know.

I would not hesitate to recommend Menopause & Wellness to speak to other workplaces and groups about this very important topic. They really knew their stuff and talked to us in away we could understand, and answered our MANY questions with warmth and ease!

We invited Menopausee & Wellnes to speak at our organisation about Menopause Awareness last year, in conjunction with the World Menopause Awareness Day. I found them very responsive and accommodating in setting up the presentation with staff. Their presentation was very interesting, informative, and staff engaged well with the content, and conversations followed after. They were a great speaker – engaging, warm, and informative, and cares a lot about getting the menopause awareness message out and helping women through this life stage.

Their presentation to our women’s group was warm and engaging.
Their knowledge of her subject matter is phenomenal and she made herself available to
answer questions at the end. Invite them in to talk to your group or workplace - you won’t
regret it!
