Dear ,
To further my commitment to supporting women's health, I recently enrolled in a #MenopauseHealth course, which I am excited to integrate into my coaching services as a Naturopathic Health Coach.
Here are some eye-opening statistics that underscore the importance of addressing menopause in the workplace:
1. Workplace Impact and challenges : Women experiencing severe menopause symptoms are often challenged in the workplace. From increased absenteeism to decreased motivation, significantly affecting their professional lives.
2. Job Consideration: In the UK alone, up to 42% of women have contemplated leaving their jobs due to #menopause symptoms, with 10% actually quitting as a result.
Some women say they have been fired due to their menopausal symptoms
3. Employer Support: 80% of women report that their employers have not been adequately supportive in managing menopause symptoms at work.
Further considerations:
4. Symptom Prevalence: Menopause symptoms affect a vast majority of women, with about 80% experiencing symptoms during the transition and 25% facing severe manifestations.
5. Duration of Symptoms: For many women, symptoms persist for approximately 7 years, while about 12% may endure them for as long as 12 years.
6. Long-term Impact: The post-menopausal phase can make up a substantial portion of a woman's life—up to 40%. Preparation is key, with experts recommending readiness as early as age 35.
7. Global Impact: Globally, a staggering 1.2 billion women are currently affected by menopause and only 10% receive treatment.
Furthermore, it's essential to recognize that menopause isn't just a women's issue—it affects 50% of the population, making it a concern for men as well. Additionally, a significant proportion of #divorces are attributed to menopause symptoms, highlighting the need for both women and men to be equipped to deal with these challenges.
