Supporting Menopause at Work: From Awareness to Action

·    Around 1 in 10 women leave work because of menopause related symptoms

·    Many more reduce hours or step back from roles

Supporting menopause at work is increasingly part of good workplace practice and inclusion.

Why this matters NOW

Menopause is not a protected characteristic on its own, but workplace cases are increasingly linked to these areas.

Government guidance encourages employers to develop menopause action plans.
