There is a figure being widely shared in global health conversations. The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that closing the women’s health gap could unlock up to $1 trillion in economic value.

“Where do Black women fit in that future?”
For female and minority ethnic small business owners and leaders, navigating menopause can be an overwhelming experience, especially when compounded by the demands of leadership.
With 75% of women reporting that menopause symptoms negatively affect their work performance and 1 in 4 women considering leaving their jobs due to these symptoms, it is clear that organisations must do more to support their leaders during this critical stage.

This is especially true in hybrid work environments, where feelings of isolation, loneliness, and increased stress can be magnified.
