Executive summary
Providing menopause support in the workplace is a strategic advantage for attracting and retaining top talent. Our research reveals that organizations offering meaningful accommodations, healthcare resources, and supportive cultures are better positioned to appeal to diverse talent pools, especially experienced women. The absence of menopause support drives many women to leave their roles. This turnover not only disrupts teams but also leads to significant costs in recruitment and training. By contrast, companies that address menopause as a workplace issue foster inclusion, equity, and wellbeing, creating environments where employees feel valued and supported. HR and DEI leaders can leverage this opportunity by implementing menopause-friendly policies, providing access to specialized healthcare, and embedding menopause support into wellness and DEI strategies. Prioritizing this issue enhances organizational reputation and ensures long-term talent retention in competitive industries.
