The current state of menopause
Currently, only 6% of women surveyed* reported their workplaces offer menopause support, leaving women to experience burnout, low self-esteem, and a loss of confidence at work.
With more women in the workforce than ever before, it is clear that change is needed.
In partnership with accredited menopause experts Menopause Friendly Australia, we have embarked on a journey to understand where support is most needed, and how best we can encourage others to take action.
We are calling on individuals and businesses to break the taboo and start conversations about menopause in the workplace. To support this, we have developed practical resources designed as a toolkit for Australian businesses to implement their own policies and support systems.
In addition to these resources, we conducted a Dove Menopause Insight (DMI) research report in collaboration with Menopause Friendly Australia, highlighting the real impacts of perimenopause and menopause in the workplace. Partnering with Pip Edwards, we listened to her personal experience with perimenopause, and the powerful effect that the right support can have on a woman’s self-confidence.
