How is Your Organization Responding to Menopause?

A single session can raise awareness, but it is unlikely to create lasting progress in how your organization recognizes, supports, and retains its valuable female team members. By structuring Menopause, At Work across a program year, your leadership and employees learn, build shared language, and gain organizational readiness at the pace that’s right for your organization.

This is a longitudinal program with touchpoints throughout the year to cover the biological arc of menopause. It respects your team’s time and provides medically credible information based on decades of real-world clinical knowledge. Topics include the range of symptoms and why they are misattributed in the workplace, evidence-based treatment options, and organizational best practices.

No. Menopause, At Work is an education and culture program that integrates smoothly with existing benefits and L&D infrastructure. 

Employees are more likely to use clinical benefits they understand, and managers are better equipped to support team members when they have a shared framework. We’ve built Menopause, At Work to work alongside existing telehealth, EAP services, and women's health benefits offerings, amplifying their impact for your organization.

The program is designed to fit into how your organization already works, not to create a parallel workstream. Employee engagement is flexible and asynchronous, built for real schedules. Manager engagement is structured for efficiency, with facilitation, conversation guides, and resources designed for a busy calendar. Leadership involvement is light and strategic, focused on organizational direction rather than content delivery. Specific time requirements are calibrated to your organization's size and capacity and are part of the program overview conversation.

Clinical depth changes what can be taught and how confidently it can be taught. A board-certified OB-GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner understands the full biological arc of the menopause transition, the range of symptoms, the evidence behind treatment options, and why symptoms are so frequently misattributed at work. That clinical grounding allows Menopause, At Work to provide specific, credible, useful information.

The program is structured for scale and offered via flat-rate or PEPA-based pricing, based on the size and structure of the organization. The program core remains the same, but implementation, facilitator intensity, and customization adjust to your organizational size and structure.

A quarter-long pilot program is available for organizations that want to test the program before committing to a full year. Based on documented healthcare and replacement costs, most organizations see a return on investment within the first year, even before measuring improvements in engagement and retention. We will discuss your specific situation during the program overview conversation.

Through regular pulse surveys, we track metrics that are known to matter to organizational health. Quarterly reviews and reports will track progress against your specific goals in these categories.

• Engagement metrics: Participation rates, content completion, resource usage
• Employee metrics: Symptom impact surveys, confidence in disclosing, satisfaction with organizational support
• Organizational metrics: Voluntary attrition (especially midlife women), healthcare claims trends, manager confidence in supporting this conversation

The business case is built around two cost lines that most organizations are already carrying without tracking: excess healthcare spend from symptomatic employees and replacement costs when those employees leave. Women aged 45 to 54 experiencing menopause symptoms carry approximately 47% higher annual healthcare costs than peers without symptoms. Replacing an experienced female employee costs 1.5 to 2.0 times her annual salary. The Program Overview includes a cost-of-inaction framework designed specifically to support internal conversations with finance and senior leadership.
