World Menopause Day 2022 - Cognition & Mood

Today is World Menopause Day (Tuesday 18th October) and the theme for 2022 is Cognition and Mood.

Did you know...?

• 44% of people say menopause has affected their ability to do their job for example, missing deadlines.

• 14% of people have reduced their working hours due to menopause which impacts the talent pipeline as they’re overlooked for promotion.

• 10% of people have quit their job due to menopause which means that companies are losing valuable employees who are typically at the peak of their experience and knowledge.

Thankfully, more organisations are implementing policies and strategies to support women going through the menopause.

It is crucial that we continue the conversation and World Menopause Day is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness, share resources and let women know that they are valued and supported and how they can access support.

The first episode of our tHRive at work podcast focused on supporting women at work experiencing symptoms of the menopause. Our guest Lauren Chiren shared lots of valuable insight and practical tips - click here to listen.
