“…Studies of the effect of menopausal symptoms on the ability to work have focused on traditional work locations and environments or face-toface working, rather than working from home or virtual working [11,49]. However, it cannot be assumed that working from home or virtual working provides better working conditions [49,50]. Managers should assume responsibility for advising on their employees' working conditions at home within their best practicable means.…”

This study aims to reveal and understand in depth about how women carry out company policies to enforce work from home (WFH) rules in their career development models. The researcher uses the interpretive paradigm and phenomenology as a basis to obtain a comprehensive description of individual speech and behavior, so as to be able to know the harmonization of Work From Home at the stages of the women career development cycle. The key informants in the study were 6 career women who were in the early, mid to late career phases. The results show that in the idealistic achievement model phase, WFH for women is seen as an obstacle in achieving their careers; the pragmatic endurance model phase, WFH makes life easier for them to carry out their dual roles in a balanced way; In the re-inventive contribution model phase, WFH has a fun impact, because they can work from home while pursuing a hobby so they are happier.

This article presents an account of one woman’s experience of the menopause. Affecting 51% of the global population, menopause has the potential to negatively impact home and work life. Yet, the arrival of menopause can often be a surprise due to a lack of education and awareness. Over 63% of UK working women claim menopause has negatively affected their careers, yet only 30% of employers support women to work through the menopause, and the cost to business and to women’s health is significant. Shrouded in silence, the menopause is often misunderstood, and taboo exists. Therefore, women do not divulge, and many leave their jobs unsupported. Through Grace’s story, this article explores how women’s hormone health can affect work and by opening up conversations and raising awareness, as we have with mental health, it is possible to eradicate the silence behind the taboo.
