Research from Bupa states that: In the UK, there are nine million women aged between 40 and 60 who could be experiencing some of the numerous symptoms of menopause or perimenopause. Three and a half million of them are over 50 and in the workplace. This demographic is typically at the top of their professional game, offering a wealth of experience and skills.
Yet the reality is that roughly a quarter of these women are struggling to manage the physiological change their bodies are going through. These women will experience debilitating symptoms and, for some, it forces them out of the workplace completely.
