Women's health, and menopause in particular, is a crucial topic that deserves special attention in the workplace. Menopause, a natural stage in a woman's life, can have a significant impact on her well-being at work. Global-Watch is aware of this reality, and offers a thematic dossier designed to support women and organizations in this transition.
Women's health and menopause in the workplace
Menopause is an important transitional phase in a woman's life, marked by hormonal changes that can lead to a variety of physical and emotional symptoms. In the workplace, these changes can impact employee productivity, commitment and well-being. It is therefore essential for organizations to understand these issues and put in place appropriate support measures.
Companies have a key role to play in creating an inclusive and caring work environment. By recognizing and responding to the specific needs of perimenopausal and menopausal women, they can not only improve their employees' quality of life, but also foster a more inclusive, high-performance corporate culture.
