Washington Tackles Menopause at Work

Washington state is taking a bold step forward by officially recognizing menopause as a workplace issue, with Governor Bob Ferguson signing an executive order to create accommodations for up to 600,000 workers. The goal? Keep experienced employees in the workforce by addressing symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and hot flashes that often go unacknowledged — especially when they hit during peak earning years. Experts argue that if men faced similar challenges, society would have acted long ago. The solution? Simple, supportive adjustments like flexible hours or remote work — turning menopause from a hurdle into a manageable part of life, boosting productivity and dignity for everyone involved.
