Healthcare practices open and close for many reasons and while we receive most questions about getting started in practice, we also receive questions about closing a practice. In the US, as you may know, most small businesses fail in the first 5 years. However, closing a practice isn’t always about failure. Life commitments may change; the business owner may move into the season of life where one looks toward retirement.

But despite its massive impact, little is being done to support those going through menopause in the workplace.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me. How often did we as children say these words to those who teased us? Yet we still felt the sting that unkind and malicious words imparted, especially when said by those we trusted. And it didn’t matter if the taunts were untrue—they still hurt. Words matter—take youth bullying, for example.

As HR professionals, it is our job to ensure employees have a comprehensive understanding of the benefits our organizations offer and how they can utilize them. Before educating employees, we first need to understand the rising healthcare costs and the financial burden of fertility care.
