Every year, 47 million women enter menopause, many at the peak of their professional lives. When societies, including workplaces, fail to recognize and respond, the cost is immense: lost talent, reduced productivity and stalled progress on gender equality. This case study \u2013 presented by Essity and Bayer in partnership with UNFPA \u2013 shows what leadership for women\u2019s health and wellbeing in the private sector looks like.<\/p>\n
Today, the total number of women in menopause (perimenopause through post-menopause) exceeds one billion globally. For many, the transition begins just as they are reaching the peak of their careers, with women of menopausal age now one of the fastest-growing segments of the global workforce.<\/p>\n
Building workplaces that support women and individuals going through menopause starts with creating a positive work environment that makes sure they feel seen, heard and supported. The UNFPA-led Coalition for Reproductive Justice in Business collaborates with forward-thinking companies that are working towards building inclusive workplaces responsive to women\u2019s health and wellbeing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/div><\/div>\n
