Evidence and Research about Menopause at Work
We receive a large number of correspondences from across the world from scholars interested in researching menopause at work. This is great as we need as large an evidence base as possible to understand the menopausal experience in all it's diversity.
Unfortunately, we do not have time to always reply to these requests, so to help support the community, below we have included a list of our 'top 20' menopause at work resources.
