Women in the Workplace Survey 2020 Personal Information In 2019 Forbes reported that annual menopause and associated healthcare costs equal $ 810 billion on a global basis. However, the cost is not just financial but affects women’s lives, relationships at home and their ability to manage symptoms in the workplace. Three years ago, we surveyed over 1000 women in the UK asking about their thoughts and feelings about menopause and how it affects their productivity in the workplace. We are keen to repeat this survey to gather data both in the UK and the USA. The information gathered will enable us to continue our mission to help as many women as possible, especially in the workplace. I have spent the last 28 years helping women with menopause by offering a well-researched, all-natural solution to overcome their symptoms and reclaim their wellbeing. We are now taking this initiative into the workplace to help women feel like the best version of themselves. I want to ask you for your help to extend our research and tailor our work better to help as many women as possible. I would really appreciate it if you would take five minutes to give me your opinion about your midlife experience by completing the short questionnaire below. To thank you for completing this survey, I am offering you a FREE copy of my nutritional assessment tool to help you assess which nutrients you may be lacking and how to correct these deficiencies to improve hormonal wellbeing.
