The age demographic of Ireland’s and the UK’s workforce is changing.
By 2030 it is estimated that there will be 1.3 billion menopausal and post- menopausal women in the world. Thus prioritization of health and prevention of disease is vital at midlife.
Midlife and menopausal women make up the fastest growing cohort at work. Thus, information, understanding and support is vital for employers, organisations, and employees.
8 in every 10 menopausal women are currently at work.
Menopause work policies are increasing rapidly throughout the U.K. having started initially within the U.K. police force. Irish women at work deserve the same support.
Delighted to have been invited to present to Worldline Global UK this week as part of #menopauseintheworkplace. It was inspiring to see so much interaction, contribution and inquiry along with many men in attendance.
Menopause impacts everyone, women, partners, families, work colleagues and society. Let’s keep talking. Opening and normalizing the conversation will change everything.
Until next time
Stay safe
