Menopause usually occurs right when a woman is in the prime of her career, with skills and experience that are crucial to your team. But lingering stigma and shame mean the issue goes undiscussed and untreated.
Can look like memory lapses, difficulty focusing on tasks, or a general feeling of just not being as sharp and quick as you know you can be.
Occurs in menopause due to changes in hormones, and may cause employees to be less confident and more likely to take a backseat when they could be taking charge.
Sleep disturbances are more common among people going through menopause, and can cause debilitating fatigue, while making other symptoms feel worse.
