How can you bring up peri- or menopausal issues with a manager who you don’t think will be supportive?

"When deciding how to approach this with your employer, it’s important to first consider what kind of workplace you are in. Some organizations have fostered cultures where you can have all kinds of open conversations. Other organizations don’t have that type of open culture, so when you encounter an issue – whether it’s menopause or another wellness-related health issue – those conversations can become really difficult," said Lisa Taylor, NIA Associate Fellow and Founder and President at Challenge Factory.
