Making the case for menopause support

As more and more people speak up about their experiences of menopause and their struggles managing symptoms at work, some companies are taking note and implementing menopause support benefits. Others may be wondering if this type of program is worth the effort. Catalyst’s most recent research shows organizational and HR leaders that menopause support not only helps employees going through this life transition but also benefits the business in tangible ways, increasing employee innovation, engagement, job satisfaction, and experiences of inclusion.

Our survey asked 1,892 employees in Canada, the UK, and the US who are currently experiencing or have experienced the menopause transition if their organization offers various types of menopause support and probed different aspects of their employee experiences.¹ Our analysis of their responses gives HR and talent leaders clear direction regarding why and how to implement menopause support for the significant portion of the workforce that is affected by this life transition.
