Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace

34% of people have taken absence from work due to menopause symptoms. 📉 Menopause can have a significant impact on an employee’s well-being and performance, and it’s more common than you might think for people to need time off as they navigate its symptoms. For many, the effects of menopause are not just physical but emotional, affecting focus, confidence, and resilience. 💝 But should menopause be a reason for people to feel they need to take absence? We believe there’s a better way. 🤩 As part of World Menopause Month, we’re encouraging workplaces to take proactive steps to support employees through menopause. When organisations understand and address these challenges, they help create a culture where employees feel supported rather than sidelined. 🤝 Is your workplace equipped to support those experiencing menopause? Let’s start a conversation about the policies, guidance, and understanding that can make a world of difference. Please get in touch to find out how we can help you foster a menopause-friendly workplace. 💡 #MenopauseAwareness #WorldMenopauseMonth #EmployeeWellbeing #WorkplaceSupport #InclusiveWorkplace #MenopauseTraining #AbsenceSupport

Only 25% of employers have a menopause policy or guidance document. 📄 With menopause impacting such a large portion of the workforce, it’s surprising that only a quarter of employers have taken the step to implement a menopause policy. Are you one of them? 🤔 Having a menopause policy in place is about more than just ticking a box—it’s about creating an inclusive, supportive environment where everyone can thrive. A well-structured policy helps employees feel understood and supported during a challenging time, leading to better retention, engagement, and overall well-being. 🥰 This World Menopause Month, we’re encouraging all businesses to ask themselves: Are we truly supporting our workforce through menopause? If the answer is no, now is the time to take action.
