Conclusion
Perimenopause and menopause can significantly impact women's ability to perform at work, primarily due to sleep disturbances and concentration issues. By implementing flexible working arrangements and fostering open communication, employers can provide the support needed to manage symptoms effectively.
Adjustments such as altered start times, hybrid work, or even career breaks can be instrumental in retaining talent and ensuring that women feel valued. Recording menopause-related sickness separately can also alleviate concerns about absenteeism, creating a more understanding and supportive work environment.
