Being menopause friendly is good for women, AND business
Just at the point where they have most to offer your organization, many senior, experienced women face the challenges of menopause symptoms. Without the right support this can impact their participation, performance, progression and well-being. This is costly not only for the women themselves, but for the businesses that employ them. That cost increases – both financially and reputationally – when employers fail to act.
‘Laura Haycock begins this book by saying that she hopes it ‘will help organizations support women better in the future.’ Well, I think she’s knocked it out of the park!' Professor Jo Brewis, co-author of the UK Government report The effects of menopause transition on women’s economic participation in the UK (2017)
‘Any organization who employs women should have ready access to this book.’ Dr. Louise Newson, Founder of Newson Health Group and member of the UK Government’s Menopause Taskforce
