Perimenopause and menopause, often referred to as “the pause”, is a natural life stage experienced by many employees during the peak of their careers. Yet it remains one of the least understood workplace experiences.
Symptoms such as fatigue, sleep disruption, brain fog, anxiety, hot flushes and joint pain can affect confidence, concentration and wellbeing at work, but many employees feel uncomfortable discussing their experience due to stigma or lack of awareness.
Unify360’s Menopause Awareness Workshop helps organisations understand the workplace impact of the pause and develop practical, inclusive strategies that support employees while strengthening culture, retention and leadership capability.
Women aged 45–55 are one of the fastest growing segments of the Australian workforce, with many holding leadership and specialist roles.
