The Midlife Androgen Project. For workplaces
Your most experienced women are leaving in their late forties. Menopause is part of why.
A briefing for human resources and leadership teams on menopause, midlife health and the cost of saying nothing.
01 The risk
Psychosocial hazards are now a legal duty in Australia.
Australian work health and safety laws require employers to identify and manage psychosocial risks. Unmanaged menopause symptoms interact with several of them: workload, fatigue, poor environmental conditions and low support.
In the United States, menopause related claims are argued under existing sex, age and disability discrimination law. In the United Kingdom, employment tribunals already hear them.
The cheapest point to act is before someone resigns.
02 The framework
The business case
What midlife attrition costs your organisation, in your numbers. Where the legal exposure sits in each jurisdiction you operate in.
Structural adjustments
Climate, dress codes, quiet space, flexible hours and sick leave wording. Changes that cost little and are rarely made.
Managers and stigma
What a manager says when performance shifts. What they never say. Scripts and templates your people can use the same week.
03 What testosterone is, and is not
Testosterone has evidence for one thing in women: distressing low sexual desire after menopause. It is not proven to fix fatigue, mood or memory.
A workplace programme that promises otherwise is selling something. This one tells your people what the evidence says, and points them to proper care.
04 Not sure where you stand?
