The hidden cost of menopause at work

60,000 women. That's how many have left their jobs because of menopause symptoms. That's an estimated £1.5 billion lost from the workforce every year. (NHS Confederation)

And that doesn't even count the women that are still showing up but struggling in silence. Taking sick days logged as "back pain” or “stress." Turning down promotions. Experienced leaders starting to question themselves. 

Managers may see disengagement or burnout. Women themselves often don’t recognise what’s happening.

Because the reality is this: many of these experiences are perimenopause.

It’s frequently misunderstood, undiagnosed and unsupported.

In this webinar, we’ll explore what's really happening during perimenopause and menopause and provide practical, evidence-based guidance.

Whether you're an HR leader supporting your workforce or someone navigating these changes yourself, this session will give you practical insight and clarity.

The reality

• 67% of women aged 40-60 say menopausal symptoms negatively affect them at work (CIPD)
• Over half have missed work due to symptoms (CIPD)
• Almost 8 in 10 menopausal women are in work (LGA Factfile)

For many women, the most disruptive phase is perimenopause - not menopause itself.

Yet many women don’t recognise it. And many workplaces don’t know how to support it.

What you'll learn

In this session, we’ll cover:

• What perimenopause and menopause actually are, and why symptoms go far beyond hot flushes
• The iceberg: what's visible versus what's really going on
• Why symptoms like brain fog, anxiety and fatigue are often misinterpreted
• The organisational risks of ignoring menopause at work
• Practical advice for supporting employees and managing symptoms
• How HealthHero supports women through this life stage
