A new report from The National Menopause Foundation in conjunction with Bank of America indicates that more than half of women who have experienced menopause say that it made their life at work more challenging.
According to the data collected, despite nearly 2 out of 3 women wanting menopause-related benefit offerings as a part of their employee benefits package, only 14% of women believe that their employer adequately recognizes the importance of menopause benefits and accommodations.
Most women hit menopause at an age between 45 and 55 years, though that range can be quite flexible on a case-by-case basis. The entire menopausal process usually lasts about 7 years, so menopause and its accompanying symptoms often occur for a significant length of time during some of what are often the most important and productive years of a person’s career.
