Menopause In
The Workplace

Making your workplace menopause friendly with tailored support

Our Menopause in the Workplace team provides expert help and guidance to ensure you offer the right support for women in your organisation going through the menopause.

Menopausal women represent the fastest growing workplace demographic. According to menopause statistics, in 2018, 14 million workdays were lost due to menopause, and it’s estimated that by 2030, menopause-related productivity losses could cost more than £110 billion a year.

Typical symptoms range from hot flushes and night sweats to headaches, anxiety, memory loss and fatigue, but invariably, health issues associated with the menopause and how it affects productivity are not recognised or discussed in the workplace. Many women struggle to cope with the psychological and physiological changes they are experiencing.

Our commitment to you

Our Occupational Health ‘Menopause in the Workplace’ team has the expertise and experience to work with your HR team, line managers and employees, educating and advising on facts about the menopause and perimenopause affecting work, providing the latest clinical thinking and helping you implement your own menopause policy template.

Together, we can make your workplace a menopause friendly place, creating an open culture where women can talk about symptoms, facilitating conversations between managers and employees, and providing access to healthcare and support services, helping to promote greater productivity and reduced absenteeism.
