The hidden cost of untreated menopause in the workplace isn’t just personal discomfort - it’s lost productivity, stalled careers, and organisations quietly losing experienced talent. In this episode of the HRchat Podcast , host Pauline James sits down with Dr Woganee Filate , respirologist, sleep medicine physician, and co-founder of Loom Women’s Health, to unpack how menopause directly affects performance, retention, and workplace culture. As many as 1 in 10 women leave the workforce due to unmanaged menopausal symptoms , including brain fog, hot flashes, heavy bleeding, mood changes, and chronic sleep disruption - often at the peak of their careers. Dr Filate explains why menopause is a workplace issue , not a private health matter, and why silence costs employers far more than support ever will.
