Menopause: The impact on women returners and tech employers

Women in their 40s-50s are the fastest-growing cohort in UK workplaces, but nearly 50% of women say their menopause symptoms have had a negative impact on their work. Furthermore, 1 in 3 women will consider reducing their hours or leaving work altogether because of perimenopausal & menopausal symptoms 

While menopause affects each woman differently, it is true that many women experience symptoms that can have an impact on their work. Understanding and addressing the challenges posed by menopause in the workplace can contribute to a more inclusive and supportive environment for women experiencing this life transition. 

In this episode, Sasha Burgoyne from TechSwitch reveals how TechSwitch is supporting its female employees who are experiencing menopause symptoms and reveals how and why it just partnered with Period & Pause.
