Menopause in the workplace

Menopause is a natural part of getting older that happens to all women. It happens when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs and hormone levels change, which can cause many physical changes like hot flashes and night sweats. In the workplace, menopause can mean extra challenges for women. It can make it harder to concentrate or stay focused, and it can also cause people to feel tired and stressed out. Women going through menopause may need more breaks throughout the day to help manage their symptoms. Being understanding of the changes and extra needs of women going through menopause is an important way employers can help women feel included and respected in the workplace.
