It’s time to break the stigma surrounding the menopause, and support employees as they navigate this experience – whether it applies to themselves, or those around them.
According to CIPD, over 70% of employees have experienced menopause-related symptoms – with 1 in 10 people aged 45-55 leaving the workforce due to this.
If businesses don’t prioritise menopause support for all, they may lose a high proportion of their most experienced and valuable employees. We’ve also seen a rise in the number of unfair dismissal claims ending up at tribunal citing menopause – a costly result of non-compliance.
All of this points to a need for better understanding and support on this topic.
