Why menopause is a hidden hurdle for gender equity in the workplace
In short: Menopause symptoms are often treated as a private taboo, yet they significantly impact professional performance and retention. This talk explores how creating a menopause-friendly culture is essential for fostering true workplace diversity.
Entrepreneur Andrea Berchowitz addresses the overlooked physical and psychological impacts of menopause, including hot flashes, joint pain, anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Because these symptoms are frequently under-discussed, they can create invisible barriers to career progression.
The presentation moves beyond identifying the problem to offering practical strategies for organizations. By supporting employees through these transitions, companies can improve gender equity and better retain diverse talent.
