Report – What More Needs To Be Done To Support Menopausal Women At Work?

If you’re a line manager or HR professional, our report is essential reading in understanding where businesses are – and where they need to get to.

In this unique and comprehensive study, we examine the issue of menopause in the workplace, and look closely at the progress being made. At the heart of this report are the results from our recently commissioned YouGov survey, where we spoke to 1,000 UK-based HR professionals.

Some key findings include:

• Almost three quarters (72%) of businesses do not have a menopause policy
• Only 18% of organisations say they provide information about the menopause to their employee
• Almost two thirds (64%) of businesses say they do not consider menopause during performance reviews for female staff.
