HR Works Presents A Seat at the Table: Menopause in the Workplace
Today, we’re talking about menopause in the workplace. There's a huge movement toward providing support for women in the workplace who are navigating this midlife transition -- and there are lots of recent studies showing the economic cost to companies who are neglecting to do so. A recent Mayo Clinic study found that 15% of women cut back on hours or missed work entirely due to their menopause symptoms, costing them about $1.8 billion a year. My guest for this episode, Joanna Strober, is passionate about discussing menopause at work. She is Founder and CEO of Midi Health, a virtual healthcare clinic focused on women navigating menopause and perimenopause. Midi Health works with employers and benefits platforms to expand access to menopause care benefits to female employees.
