Progyny ‘Presses Play on ‘Pause’ in Honor of World Menopause Awareness Month

With approximately 1.3 million women in the U.S. entering menopause annually¹ it's critical they receive the education, support, and treatment they deserve. That's why Progyny has launched the 'Press Play on 'Pause' campaign, a collaboration with female leaders across industries aimed at raising awareness about menopause benefits, breaking the workplace stigma around discussing menopause, and empowering women to share their personal stories as they navigate this life stage.

The 'Press Play on Pause' campaign features voices from leading employers including Synchrony, Danone and more, as well as some of today's biggest women's health advocates like Female Quotient Founder and CEO Shelley Zalis, actress Kellee Stewart, Mama Glow Founder Latham Thomas, and Gennev Founder and CEO Jill Angelo. Each woman's story and call to action will be shared across Progyny social channels throughout October.

In addition to the social campaign, Progyny has curated a list of resources to support women in the workplace and educational materials for someone currently in peri/menopause.  

• For consultants and employers considering menopause benefits - For those looking to better support employees during peri/menopause, we encourage you to utilize our Comprehensive Menopause Benefit Checklist. Adding comprehensive menopause benefits can be life-changing for employees experiencing the symptoms of this transition.

• For those experiencing menopause -We got you! If you are a Progyny member, your dedicated Patient Care Advocate is available to answer any questions you might have regarding resources and treatment. If you are not a Progyny member, we have free educational resources to help guide you through this transition. Feel free to visit our Instagram for stories from patients, explore resources, and be a part of the community. Lastly, feel free to email [email protected] should you have any questions about making the case for menopause benefits at your company.

As we continue to push the conversation around menopause forward, Progyny remains committed to ensuring women have the resources and support they need. By raising awareness, encouraging open dialogue, and providing meaningful benefits, we hope to empower millions of women to embrace this stage of life with confidence and clarity. Together, through the 'Press Play on Pause' campaign, we can break the silence and build a future where menopause is no longer a taboo topic but a natural and supported part of the workplace and everyday life.
