🌍 Understanding Menopause: How to become a menopause friendly employer
Approximately 1 in 10 women aged 40-55 have left a job due to menopause symptoms (The Fawcett Society) and around 80% of women experience menopause symptoms with more than a quarter saying it has had a negative effect on their career progression (CIPD).
