Menopause symptoms and lack of support puts women in tech careers on hold
One in five ( 20 %) women in tech or FinTech who have experienced menopausal symptoms have left or wanted to leave their job because of their symptoms , according to new research from Intuit QuickBooks .
The research , which surveyed 3,000 men and women working in FinTech or for tech providers , also found that almost a quarter ( 22 %) of surveyed women experiencing menopausal symptoms have delayed or cancelled plans to apply for a promotion .
Meanwhile , almost two in five ( 38 %) surveyed women who have experienced menopausal symptoms say they generally felt less confident in their abilities , while 41 % of respondents said the main challenges for themselves , or someone they work with who is going through the perimenopause or menopause in the workforce , are the symptoms affecting their ability to perform work tasks .
The symptoms that these women say contributed most to their lack of confidence are hot flushes ( 39 %), mood changes such as depression , anxiety and stress ( 37 %) and poor sleep quality ( 36 %).
And across both men and women , about three-quarters ( 76 %) thought the experience of menopause could affect plans to progress into senior roles – demonstrating the negative effects of menopause in the workplace are being universally recognised .
