EMAS Menopause in the Workplace

#EMASMenopauseandWork

In 2020 there were 657 million women aged 45- 59, many contributing to the workforce throughout their menopausal years. Although the average age of the natural menopause is 51, it can occur earlier, either naturally or induced by surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. While the menopause may cause no significant problems for some women, for others it is known to present considerable difficulties in both their personal and working lives. Workplace health and wellbeing frameworks and policies should therefore incorporate menopausal health as part of the wider context of gender and age equality and reproductive and post-reproductive health.

The global AWARE (Appropriate care for Women with AndRogen Excess) group is a panel of independent physicians with an expert interest in androgen excess. Their mission is to address the unmet need in androgen excess to ensure that women receive appropriate care. Since its formation in 2015, the AWARE group and its ongoing work is supported by Bayer. The group have created a number of useful resources that are available to download below. These resources aim to support healthcare professionals in the recognition, diagnosis and appropriate treatment of androgen excess. You may want to use these materials to support discussions with colleagues, for example, in a workshop setting.
