Seperti yang diungkapkan Berger (1999) bahwa wanita menopause yang bekerja bisa berbagi solusi terhadap berbagai masalah seputar menopause dengan rekan kerjanya yang dapat membantu mereka mampu menangani berbagai masalah seputar menopause dengan lebih baik. Hal yang sama diungkapkan Kozier (dalam Leggat 2007) yang menyatakan bahwa wanita berbagi solusi terhadap berbagai masalah dengan rekan kerjanya dan memberikan kesempatan bagi wanita untuk memperluas komunikasi yang dapat membantu mereka menangani berbagai masalah sehingga mengurangi resiko stres dan penyakit serta meningkatkan kepuasan diri dan pekerjaan.…”
