FYI Magazine – Menopause in the Workplace

Research suggests that as many as one in four women consider quitting their job due to meno- pause-related issues’, and one in ten actually do so. In the United States, a Mayo Clinic study estimated that menopausal symptoms result in approximately $1.8 billion in lost work time annually. In the United Kingdom, the economic impact is even more pronounced, with a report from the UK Parliament indicating that menopause costs the economy about 14 million working days each year, equating to £1.88 billion in lost productivity.
