A pause for menopause in the workplace

The topic of menopause is still taboo in most places of work, but the potential symptoms of menopause can have dramatic impacts on female workers’ well-being and work performance and thus on the workplace as a whole. The challenges this project aims to address are both the issue of social stigmas and lack of information surrounding menopause, as well as the experience of menopause itself, where active, suitable training for women in the ages from perimenopause to post menopause will be part of the project design. The project will apply a concept of both general and directed education that has promising results in other workplaces, with the longer-term goal of normalising menopause education as part of Lund University Occupational Health Services
