Author: Brightmine Editorial Team
Menopause is often regarded as a taboo topic at work. Some may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed talking about it. Others may not deem it an appropriate subject to raise with co-workers or supervisors.
The reality is that if menopausal symptoms significantly impact an employee's performance, relationships at work, or desire to continue working, raising the issue may be a first step to improving their work experience. Therefore, it is important for supervisors to create an environment where employees feel supported and comfortable enough to talk about issues that may be preventing them from doing their best work.

- What is Menopause?
