Menopause Symptoms Cost U.S. Employers An Estimated $1.8 Billion In Lost Work Time Every Year
Mayo Clinic researchers evaluated 4,440 employed women ages 45 to 60. When direct medical expenses are included, the estimated annual economic impact rises to $26.6 billion.
Those figures do not account for reduced hours, job changes, lost opportunities for career advancement, early retirement, or experienced women leaving the workforce.
Supporting the healthy lifespan of women in midlife is not simply an employee benefit. It protects leadership, institutional wisdom, company culture, and the healthy lifespan of the organization itself.
THE COST OF INACTION
The $1.8 Billion Loss is Only What Can Easily Be Counted
13%
Of women surveyed experienced an adverse work outcome related to menopause symptoms.
11%
Missed work because of their symptoms.
91%
Of women executives in the S&P 500 are between the ages of 45 and 64.
The visible cost is missed work. The greater cost includes reduced hours, lost opportunities for advancement, early retirement, employee turnover, and experienced women leaving the workforce.
These women are leading teams, mentoring others, making critical decisions, and shaping company culture. When they step back or leave, organizations lose leadership, institutional wisdom, continuity, and trust.
Awareness does not protect talent. Action does.
Supporting the healthy lifespan of women in midlife protects the healthy lifespan of the organization itself.
