• Women can feel isolated at work during the menopause, supporting them will help retain staff
• It will reduce the amount of sick days
• Educating those that are not experiencing menopause helps them understand and support their colleagues better
• There has been a rise in legal claims, this helps prevent discrimination
• To break the stigma and create a more inclusive workplace
• Adopt a forward thinking and supportive culture to attract talent
• Talking about menopause takes away the stigma that should not be there
• Producing factsheets and framework raises awareness
• Writing and publishing a formal company policy shows that you understand and nurture inclusivity and diversity in the workplace
• Only around 10% of companies understand or have a formal menopause policy in place on how to educate and support their employees
From Fact Sheets and HR policies to company education and awareness there is so much we can do together to support the menopause and its symptoms in the workplace.
