Abstract Menopausal symptom management is no longer just a personal health issue—it is a critical organizational concern that directly affects workplace performance, employee retention, and overall business success. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the profound impact that effective management of menopausal symptoms can have on organizational outcomes. Utilizing a robust mixed-methods approach, this study integrates quantitative data from extensive surveys and qualitative insights from detailed interviews to evaluate the prevalence and effects of menopausal symptoms among working women. The findings reveal that inadequate management of menopausal symptoms can lead to substantial declines in productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover rates, posing serious risks to organizational competitiveness and sustainability. However, the study also highlights the effectiveness of various management strategies, including innovative digital tools, and emphasizes the necessity of considering intersectional factors such as race and socioeconomic status. Crucially, this research underscores the urgent need for supportive workplace policies, not just as a matter of employee welfare but as a critical factor in maintaining organizational performance. The study concludes with actionable recommendations for organizations, emphasizing that the successful implementation of menopause support strategies must be tailored to cultural and global contexts to maximize their impact. Grounded in the latest 2024 research, this analysis positions menopause management as a vital element of future-focused human resource strategy.
