With a spectrum of over 60 symptoms, ranging from brain fog to mood swings, each woman’s experience with Menopause is unique, making it clear that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
We recently had the privilege of attending a BIMA Roundtable titled “Menopause Matters,” where our Head of Client Services, Rachel Berry, participated in the important conversation surrounding menopause in the digital marketing industry.
Led by Dee Walsh, a distinguished menopause coach from Dewa Consulting, the session highlighted the pressing need for normalising menopause and supporting women through this significant life transition.
Shockingly, up to 85% of women endure one or more symptoms, impacting their daily lives and work productivity. Despite its average duration of five years, the absence of comprehensive treatments beyond HRT poses significant challenges to women’s quality of life during this period.
The lack of formal menopause policies in the workplace, evident in only 29% of UK companies, exacerbates the struggles faced by women, with a third reporting that menopause impacts their work life.
As a woman about to tip into this stage of life, I feel reassured that I have the support of my workplace and colleagues at Filter. It’s comforting to know that as I navigate through this phase, I have a supportive environment and understanding colleagues by my side.
Head of Client Services, FILTER
The discussion highlighted the importance of flexible working arrangements to support women navigating menopause. It’s essential to educate male leaders about the diverse symptoms women may experience during this phase, impacting their professional lives. With over 13 million women in the UK undergoing menopause, and a staggering 85% experiencing symptoms, it’s evident that tailored support is vital.rnrnBy acknowledging the impact of menopause in the workplace and implementing tailored support measures, companies can empower women to navigate this phase with confidence and continue contributing meaningfully to their careers.
