Confidential employee access
Employees use MidlifeCare privately. Employers do not receive names, emails, symptoms, medicines, journal entries or clinician summaries.
Private menopause support that respects the employee–employer boundary.
MidlifeCare Workplace Support is being prepared as a controlled pilot for employers, universities, HMOs and occupational-health providers. It combines confidential employee tools with practical organisational education—without exposing personal health records to sponsors.
Proposed pilot package
Useful support without forced disclosure
Appointment preparation
Women can document changes, organise health context and generate a clinician-readable summary that they control and share themselves.
Manager education
Short, non-clinical guidance helps managers respond respectfully, reduce stigma and understand practical workplace support.
Referral information
Employees receive clear routes to qualified care and safety guidance without employer involvement in their personal decisions.
What a sponsor may see
Only non-identifying programme indicators for sufficiently large groups, such as eligible, activated and recently active participant counts and rates. Cohorts below 20 participants are suppressed.
- Never symptoms or health outcomes
- Never names, email addresses or journal content
- Never clinician summaries, medicines or period information
- No employee-level usage report
ISO 45010 positioning
The pilot direction is informed by publicly available ISO 45010:2026 themes including supportive policies, practical adjustments, management practices, inclusion and stigma reduction.
Important: MidlifeCare is not ISO-certified and does not certify an employer’s compliance. ISO 45010 is workplace guidance, not medical advice or a Nigerian legal requirement. Any formal organisational claim should receive legal review.
Read ISO’s official overviewInitial pilot focus: universities and large employers
Nigerian research among 313 perimenopausal employees in two Bayelsa public universities found that only 42.5% had sought professional healthcare for menopause-related concerns. The findings identified silence, stigma, misconceptions, privacy concerns and dissatisfaction with available services as important barriers. This supports a discreet workplace pathway, but the results should not be generalised beyond the studied population without further research.
