The Importance of Menopause Awareness in the Workplace
About 13 million people are currently perimenopausal or menopausal in the UK. This is equivalent to a third of the entire UK female population. Almost 80% of people experiencing menopause are in work. Most, but not all, of these people are experiencing uncomfortable symptoms. 14 million working days are lost each year to menopause. Many women leave work because menopause symptoms make things too difficult for them. A greater understanding of menopause issues and treatments could greatly reduce the cost to businesses.
What is Menopause?
The menopause is when menstrual periods stop due to reduced hormone levels. It’s a natural part of ageing that usually happens between 45 and 55 years old. There are a wide variety of symptoms associated with menopause. Menopause can cause symptoms like anxiety, mood swings, brain fog, hot flushes and irregular periods. These symptoms can start years before your periods stop and carry on for a long time afterwards.

What are the benefits of menopause training?
It is important for employers to be aware of all of the people who might go through the menopause and menopause symptoms, and to support them all equally. Menopause Awareness training helps employers and employees gain a wider understanding of the menopause. Menopause training will:
- Raise awareness about the menopause.
- Deal with misunderstandings about the realities of menopause.
- Give knowledge of treatment options to aid health and wellbeing.
- Help to reduce the amount of sick days taken by employees.
- Show your commitment to supporting all staff.
- Help decision-makers know if the business is being compliant with equality & internal HR policies.
Improving menopause compliance
The Equality Act ensures employers do not operate policies that directly, or indirectly, disadvantage a group of people because of a protected characteristic.
The menopause mainly affects women aged 45 to 60, so, any unfair treatment due to menopause could qualify as discrimination due to sex or age. Menopause can also qualify as a disability if the symptoms are long lasting and significantly affect someone’s ability to carry out day-to-day activities.
As menopause and perimenopause symptoms can last for years, it is important employers take responsibility and educate all their staff with menopause awareness training.
