Despite these broad characterizations, many preconceived notions about what these professionals do are outdated.

Menopause is one of those things that until a few years ago, most of the population hadn’t heard of. Even if they had, it certainly wasn’t a workplace issue. Which is interesting as half the population will have one in some form. More specifically more than one in every ten people in our workforce is currently menopausal. To understand why menopause isn’t a hot topic – pun intended – we must first look at some of the common misconceptions.
