Up to a third of women will experience severe menopausal symptoms that can impact on their quality of life. It is in the work context that employees often report greater difficulty managing symptoms and can feel embarrassed and unable to disclose their menopausal status for fear of being stigmatised.

With this in mind, it’s incumbent upon HR teams to provide the necessary support and to create an environment where people feel able to speak openly about menopause at work.

Hosted by WorkNest’s Employment Law & HR Training Manager, Lorna Gemmell, and Head of Team and Solicitor, Jane Hallas, this session covered:

• What the menopause is, including common symptoms and how it might impact women (and trans and non-binary people) at work
• How to support employees going through the menopause
• Employers’ obligations and the legal risks to be aware of when managing menopausal employees
• The role that line managers and workplace culture can play in supporting staff.
