The stigma around menopause in the workplace is real. This article from Harvard Business Review illuminates some fascinating research that we should all take to heart. One big insight is that women who share that they are going through menopause are seen as more credible.
"We asked more than 240 full-time workers to imagine that they were attending a meeting in which a female, middle-aged colleague was observed having a hot flash: She was visibly uncomfortable, flushing, fanning herself, and wiping sweat from her face. In one scenario, when a coworker asked how she was doing, she said, “I’m ok, just warm,” while in the other scenario, she replied, “I’m ok, it’s just that menopausal time of life.” When the woman openly disclosed that her symptoms were caused by menopause, she was seen as more confident, stable, and leader-like than when she claimed to be “just warm.”'
If that's not a call to action to be open and vulnerable, we don't know what is. Join the community and get updated on upcoming live shows at https://thisishysterical.com/
