Menopause at Work: Conversation HR Needs to Lead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Menopause and perimenopause are one of the most overlooked workplace issues. What employees are experiencing often gets misread as performance issues, poor attendance, or “burnout,”.
For this episode, we’re taking a bit of a detour from our usual format to bring you a conversation from the Take a Pause with MenoPalz Podcast for which I was honored to be a guest. We’ll discuss how symptoms can affect the mid-career professional and how HR can lead with confidence, credibility, and care.
We'll also talk about how to equip managers to have respectful conversations, build accommodation readiness, and create a culture where employees don’t have to suffer in silence.
Thank you to MenoPalz founders, Deborah McCarthy and Raquel Riggle, and Mare Krammes, as well as fellow PA SHRM State Council colleague, Angela Hummel for being a part of this joint podcast.
