What ’ s more , 44 % of polled women shared that menopause symptoms affected their ability to work , 61 % felt that symptoms caused them to lose motivation to work and 52 % had lost confidence .
But , it doesn ’ t stop there . Almost three quarters of women reported feeling unsupported whilst experiencing menopause at work , with a whopping 41 % stating that they had seen either the menopause or menopause symptoms being treated as a joke by peers . Not only do these statistics demonstrate the adversity that every working woman , at some point , will face , but also the imperative need for businesses to take menopausal support seriously .
