WASHINGTON, D.C. and SALEM, Mass. — Menopause costs U.S. employers an estimated $26.6 billion annually — yet most workplace conversations about it never reach the decision-makers who control benefits budgets or employee experience. The Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR) and The Fuchsia Tent today announced a national research partnership designed to change that.

The initiative, "Menopause at Work: From Echo Chamber to Mainstream Practice," will survey and convene working women experiencing menopause as well as CHROs, CFOs, benefits consultants, male executives, frontline workers, and policy stakeholders.
