Genentech Featured in New PBS Documentary on .

Tune in to your local PBS channel or online starting October 17 to catch Genentech in a groundbreaking new documentary on menopause!

“The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause” explores the hidden impact of menopause on women’s lives and aims to destigmatize this topic so women are empowered to make informed healthcare decisions. As an early adopter of our progressive menopause benefit, Genentech is the only employer featured in the film, serving as a model to other companies for how to support women in the workplace.

in 2022 ,at the Genentech Women Professionals Summit, a few brave leaders spoke up about how symptoms of menopause were affecting them at work. That conversation inspired the Benefits team to explore and implement our menopause benefit, launched on International Women’s Day in March of 2023. At the time, only 4% of major U.S. employers were offering this type of support. Not only was Genentech one of them – it was GWP that put this in motion!
