Menopause and Workplace Inclusion #OfficeScoop

Menopause is a natural life stage that affects millions of women during their working years, typically between the ages of 45 and 55. Despite growing awareness globally, menopause remains an under-discussed topic in many workplaces. Conversations around inclusion often focus on gender, disability, race, or mental health, while menopause is frequently overlooked. Research shows that menopausal symptoms—including hot flushes, fatigue, sleep disturbances, anxiety, brain fog and reduced concentration—can significantly affect an employee's comfort, confidence and performance at work

In this podcast, join Mpumi Mbethe and HR Expert Lerato Shawane- as they explore why menopause should be considered part of an inclusive workplace strategy, how employers can create supportive policies and practices … foster environments where employees feel comfortable seeking support without fear of judgment.
