Navigating Menopause Challenges in the Workplace
직장 내 폐경기 문제 대처법
Menopause-related symptoms can prompt many workers to consider quitting their jobs due to inadequate support from employers.
Women experiencing symptoms like night sweats and fatigue often feel unsupported, leading to difficult decisions about leaving their jobs.
Despite increased awareness about menopause, workplace support remains insufficient for many women.

Many employees not only feel support from official programs is lacking but also believe an open avenue to even broach menopause is absent.
Grassroots campaigns aim to reduce the stigma, but the professional impact remains largely unaddressed.
This leaves many workers comtemplating resignation due to menopausal symptoms, especially with leadership teams still being male dominated.

To bridge this gap, some companies are introducing menopause-specific support programs.
Hormone replacement therapy is even covered by some health-insurance plans.
However, broader changes are needed to prevent a mass exodus of menopausal workers from the workforce, highlighting the urgency for employers to provide comprehensive support and education.
