Replacing menopausal workers costs billions

Many women experience difficulties in having their menopause related concerns listened to and have difficulties accessing advice and help on the menopause. One of the difficulties in accessing appropriate advice is the wide range of symptoms that women may experience, and the fact that some of these symptoms can overlap with other conditions. Whilst most women attribute hot flushes and night sweats to the menopause, many do not associate other symptoms (such as tiredness, low mood, anxiety, poor memory and concentration or sensation of brain fog) to the menopause and worry about the cause of these symptoms or may fail to understand why they are experiencing them. Many women may experience troublesome symptoms related to the menopause for several years. This can have a detrimental impact on their quality of life, wellbeing and may also have a significant impact on their work.
