Why menopause matters
Around 8 out of 10 menopausal women are in work (opens in new window).
Supporting menopausal employees isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s important for staying legally compliant and creating a successful, thriving workplace.
A lack of menopausal support could result in:
- More absenteeism or presenteeism (showing up but not fully productive)
- Adverse health effects for employees
- Discrimination claims against the organisation
- Difficulty in retaining and attracting staff
- Risks to your organisation’s reputation
- Loss of profit
Our handy ‘Understanding Menopause’ poster shows the symptoms of menopause and statistics for the Welsh workforce.
