It’s Getting Hot in Here: A Guide to Managing Menopause at Work

Menopause-related symptoms can trigger real workplace impacts—and real legal exposure. This guide from Protea LLP  “It’s Getting Hot in Here: A Guide to Managing Menopause at Work,” outlines the emerging legal landscape in Canada and offers steps to help employers stay compliant while better supporting women employees, including:

  • Create a culture where menopause can be discussed without stigma

  • Consider accommodations that address symptoms and job demands

  • Equip managers with guidance to respond consistently and respectfully

  • Review policies and practices through a human rights lens

As we have shared in our MenopauseWorksHereTM campaign, creating menopause inclusive workplaces doesn’t have to be a heavy lift for employers, but those small efforts can help reduce absenteeism, improve contribution levels and, importantly, retain talented employees.
