The symptoms of menopause transitions have profound implications for work and are, in turn, affected by work. Despite this, the topic is rarely discussed in management and organization studies.



Providing an overview of existing knowledge in the field of menopause in the workplace, this collection re-theorizes the management of human resources as it relates to the connections between gender, age and the body in the workplace environment with an intersectional analysis.



Offering theoretical frameworks from experts as well as possible practical approaches that can be implemented in workplaces to support women transitioning through menopause, this is a go-to reference for academics and policy makers working in the field.

Recenzijas

"This volume is an important study that bridges the gap between academic research on menopause and practical strategies for supporting menopausal employees (...) It will serve as a guide for scholars, employers, policymakers, human resource management professionals and union leaders in advancing gender-inclusive work environments." LSE Review of Books Menopause transitions and the workplace is practical reading for anyone seeking to improve equitable and inclusive work environments. It is particularly suited for scholars and researchers in fields such as gender studies, social work, organizational behavior, human resource management, and public policy. The book is highly recommended for women experiencing menopause, as it equips them with the tools to navigate workplace challenges; managers and human resources professionals, who gain insights on supporting menopausal employees; trade unions and policymakers, who receive guidance for developing sensitive workplace policies; and young professionals, who are encouraged to foster empathy and proactive leadership. Despite receiving more attention in policy and social agendas, the intricacies of the ways in which menopause is experienced in work remain underexplored. This timely book offers much-needed insight from an impressive collection of international experts. Wendy Loretto, University of Edinburgh Business School
