Menopause data rarely shows up neatly labelled — it hides in absence records, flexible working requests and exit interviews, and it takes intentional effort to find.
In this conversation, Bethany Heesom, Engagement Expert at BET365 and Ellie McCluskey, Head of People, Prism Sport and Entertainment at VML unpack why women's health has moved from taboo topic to business imperative, covering the real cost of inaction (1 in 10 women leave roles over menopause symptoms, an estimated £14bn annual hit to UK productivity), what best-in-class support actually looks like - flexibility, education, psychological safety and stress management - and how they're using the new mandatory menopause action plans as a springboard to build data-driven, board-level buy-in rather than just ticking a compliance box.
