Why menopause support matters for employers

Women aged 45-55 are one of the fastest growing demographics of the workforce, and have a wealth of talent, knowledge, expertise, and experience that would benefit any business.

This trend is likely to continue as the UK population gets older.

Organisations that create an environment where women can succeed throughout their working lives, will put themselves in a stronger position to benefit them both now and in the future.

“Embracing menopause awareness in the workplace is not just a commitment to supporting women, it is also important for creating an inclusive and compassionate work environment and continues to highlight the importance of Management and Leadership training. A workplace that values and accommodates menopausal needs not only promotes employee well-being but also the progression of inclusion, breaking down barriers and ensuring that different journeys are acknowledged and respected by all genders.”
