World Menopause Day 2024: Supporting Women Through Menopause in the Workplace

October 18 is World Menopause Day, a global initiative to raise awareness of menopause and its impact on women’s health. At Sage Women’s Health, we are dedicated to supporting women through this significant life transition, particularly in the workplace.

Menopause can bring symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and emotional changes, which often affect women’s ability to perform and engage at work. However, with the right support, workplaces can become environments where women thrive, not just survive, through menopause.

Recent findings from the Senate Inquiry into Menopause highlight that many workplaces lack the awareness and policies necessary to adequately support women. At Sage Womens Health, we provide tailored solutions to help organizations address this gap.

How We Help Your Workplace Support Women Through Menopause:

• Foster open conversations:
  Our Menopause Ally Program paves the way for open, supportive discussions within the workplace. By training designated menopause allies, we help create a more empathetic culture where women feel comfortable talking about their experiences.

• Flexible work arrangements:
  Understanding the specific needs of your workforce is crucial. We help you analyze these needs and guide you in developing flexible work policies that support women experiencing menopause, ensuring that the provisions are relevant and impactful.

• Tailored workshops and webinars:
  Whether it’s Menopause 101 for all employees, Managing Imposter Syndrome, or Compassion Fatigue, our live workshops and webinars are tailored to meet your team where they are. These sessions provide essential education and practical strategies, ensuring that your team is well-equipped to support each other.

At Sage Women’s Health, we believe that with the right tools, education, and policies, businesses can create environments where women feel supported, valued, and empowered through all life stages.
