Every employer depends on having healthy and productive employees and managing the effects of menopause at work is important for both employers and their staff.
It’s important for employers to be aware of all the people who might go through the menopause and support them all equally. Being aware of this helps to attract and retain committed employees as research shows that a lack of support can have a negative impact on career progression and can even cause some women to leave the workplace entirely.
So, what more should manufacturers be doing to create a menopause supportive workplace and empower employees to manage their symptoms and thrive in work? Listen to our webinar and hear advice and tips from our panel of experts:
- Jane Packer, Head of Standards at The British Standards Institution
