After years of facing the global pandemic, we are now struggling with a new problem: inflation. No one could have predicted the impact of inflation on employee benefits and how it affects both employees and employers.

Although menopause is a significant phase of life that affects about 20% of the workforce at any given time, it is seldom given any attention by employers. Employees' physical and mental health can suffer as a result of the symptoms, thus reducing productivity. According to a recent survey, only 8% of respondents felt their employer provided them with meaningful support, which may explain why 70% of respondents considered changing jobs to better manage symptoms.
