DEVELOPING A MENOPAUSE POLICY

Menopause is a natural phase of life that affects millions of employees, yet it sometimes goes unnoticed or even unaddressed in the workplace. 

Implementing a menopause policy is a simple but powerful tool that can help to support our teams, promote inclusivity, and create a healthier work environment. 

How can you support?

💛Prioritise Employee Wellbeing

Menopause can bring about a range of physical and mental health challenges, such as hot flashes, fatigue, and mood swings.

A policy can provide employees with a guide on what the organisation can offer to help manage these symptoms, this could include offering flexible working, wellbeing support, or adjustments to the workplace itself.

💛Normalise the topic

Acknowledging menopause as a natural life stage, employers show that they care about their employees' wellbeing, and a clear policy can encourage a more inclusive workplace, where employees feel understood and respected.

💛Provide practical support

Offering practical support during menopause can reduce absence and improve productivity. Employees who feel supported are more engaged in their work, which helps retain valuable talent.
