Menopause at workâitâs the last workplace taboo. This is The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast.
This is Not Old Better Show, Workplace Roundup Interview Series on radio and podcast. Todayâs episode is brought to you by Acorns.
We talk about diversity, inclusion, equity⊠but when it comes to hot flashes in a board meeting, brain fog before a big presentation, or the exhaustion that hits like a freight trainâsuddenly, silence.
Women over 50 are the fastest-growing workforce demographic, bringing decades of experience, leadership, and skill. And yet, when menopause shows up, too many are treated like theyâre slowing down, when really, theyâre just heating up.
Dismissed. Overlooked. Managed out. Some even leave their careers behindânot because they want to, but because the workplace isnât built to support them.
But today, weâre talking about it.
Because menopause isnât a weakness. Itâs not a reason to be sidelined. And itâs not a reason to lose the best, brightest, and most experienced people in the workforce.
Enter Catherine Krider and Jack Tucknerâtwo powerhouse attorneys who are fighting for workplace fairness for women at every stage of life. Theyâve taken on pregnancy discrimination, equal pay, and now, theyâre tackling menopause rights head-on.
What are your rights at work? Can you ask for accommodations? How do we shatter the stigma and get employers to step up?
This conversation is long overdue, and weâre bringing it front and center.
Because if men had menopause, we wouldnât even be having this discussion.
This is The Not Old Better Show. Iâm Paul Vogelzangâletâs get started.
