    226 Menopause and the Workplace

    Did you know that a significant number of women leave the workforce due to symptoms of perimenopause and menopause? While research in Australia is limited, the condition is conservatively estimated to cost organisations about $5 billion annually. Dr Lucy chats today with Mel Kettle who is an expert on business leadership and communication. She has a special interest in helping women and organisations better understand the impact of menopause in the workplace and how organisations can better support menopausal women at work. This not only benefits women but saves the companies hundreds of thousands of dollars and retains years and years of corporate knowledge.
