The benefits of providing menopause-related workplace support
Developing a workplace that supports the recruitment, retention, and development of people of all ages brings many advantages, including:
-
- Multi-generational workplaces are shown to be more productive.
-
- Improved quality of working life helps productive workers to remain in work and take advantage of their years of experience.
-
- Inclusive working practices show your workforce and potential recruits that you’re serious about their wellbeing and career development.
-
- Organisations that have a workforce that is representative of their customers have been shown to be more successful.
-
- Replacing colleagues who leave is time-consuming and expensive. With recruitment costs rising and then time is spent getting new recruits up to speed, plus the time it will take to replace all the knowledge, contacts and know-how that has just walked out the door.
-
- Employers also have a legal responsibility to make sure their ways of working aren’t discriminatory.
