Driving and the Menopause
Introduction
Recently the menopause has become the hot topic of discussion which is positive as it raises awareness. Yet it is has been around forever so why the interest? There is more research, greater understanding of the effects, and as more women come back into work it has changed the landscape in wellbeing by attempting to break the taboo. It is often one of those topics that many do not want to address for fear of saying the wrong thing, not understanding or inappropriate stereotyping ‘women of a certain age’, or those going through ‘the change’ to explain certain behaviours or emotions.
The UK government state that there are approximately 4.5 million women aged 50 – 64 in work and that those over 50 were the fastest growing group in the workforce overall. Those aged 45 to 54 make up 11% of all those employed. Despite the high volume of female workers the Government Equalities Office stated that the ‘menopause is not well understood or provided for in workplace cultures, policies and training’. A 2019 survey conducted by the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development CIPD found that three in five menopausal women were negatively affected at work.
