From Symptoms to Support: Rethinking Menopause Care in the Workplace

Menopause affects millions of employees during a pivotal stage of their careers, yet it remains one of the most overlooked and misunderstood areas of workplace health.

In this live session, Dan Schawbel, Managing Partner of Workplace Intelligence, sits down with Erin Duralde, Medical Director of Menopause Care at Amazon One Medical, and Joshua Dunsby, Partnerships, Amazon One Medical for Business, to explore why menopause belongs in the workplace health conversation and how primary care can play a critical role in closing today’s care gap. 

The discussion will examine the lack of menopause training in traditional primary care, the impact untreated symptoms have on employee well-being and performance, and how employers can rethink workforce support by leveraging a comprehensive, primary-care-led approach to midlife health.

Together, we will discuss:

• Understand why menopause is a workforce health and performance issue, not just a personal or clinical concern.
• Identify the gaps that exist today in menopause training and treatment within traditional primary care.
• Recognize how menopause symptoms affect productivity, engagement, retention, and long-term workforce participation.
• Learn how employers can support midlife health by integrating menopause-trained primary care into their benefits strategy.
• Explore how a comprehensive, primary-care-led model can improve outcomes for employees while strengthening overall workforce well-being.
