Menopause support resources

Around a quarter of women in the workforce are of menopausal age, yet many face a lack of awareness from their employer or colleagues.

With several studies reporting that women feel the menopause impacts their performance at work, employers have a responsibility to increase understanding and provide guidance for their people.

Studies show that menopause symptoms can have a significant impact on attendance and performance in the workplace. Research found that 84% of employees would like their workplace to offer more advice and support around the menopause.

Our free resources can help you create a culture that makes your employees feel comfortable and supported.
