FOR EMPLOYERS

Menopause is part of working life.
Now there is a standard for how you can address it.

Most women go through menopause in the middle of their working lives, in the years when their experience counts the most. The symptoms are real, they last for years, and very few mention them at work.

On 7 September 2026 ISO published ISO 45010, the world's first international standard on menopause in the workplace. It gives you a shared language and a concrete method. In addition, Ryma gives your employees what a policy cannot: support that is her own.

WHERE RYMA FITS

The standard sets the frame.
Ryma is what she actually uses.

ISO 45010 is about what the workplace does. Ryma is about what the woman gets. The two belong together.

Support that is her own

Ryma is a tool for the woman. She follows her symptoms, sees her patterns and gets a report she can bring to her doctor. Nobody at work sees her data. She does not have to tell anyone anything to get help.

Words for what she feels

The standard asks managers to understand the symptoms. Ryma gives the woman the language for them. If she chooses to talk to her manager, she has something concrete to bring.

From policy to everyday life

A policy does not change her Tuesday. An offer she actually uses does. Ryma can be the concrete offer in your work with ISO 45010, alongside your own policy, manager training and adjustments.
