Menopause and associated symptoms are still a taboo topic. In this article, we look at why we should talk about it more and how menopausal symptoms affect women in the workplace.
WeiterlesenThe menopause is a normal development in the life of every woman or womanised person. Nevertheless, it is still far too taboo – with enormous consequences not only for women, but also for companies. They lose women in their prime due to a lack of support, as they too often reduce their working hours or even leave the labour market due to complaints.
At Onuava, we support menopausal women in a variety of ways to improve employee health and retention for this rapidly growing group.
