Watch Pointer Season 5 Episode 46 Online

Hot flashes, muscle pain, mental problems... More attention is finally being paid to menopausal complaints. Famous Dutch people make podcasts and books about it, and it is even discussed on TV and social media. But what is that like in the workplace? In the Netherlands there are approximately 1.9 million female employees aged 40 and over. An estimated 315,000 of them are in perimenopause (the period before your periods stop). And for at least half (173,000 women), the complaints affect their work. Can women talk about it? How do employers and (company) doctors interact? And aren't complaints quite easy to treat?
