Supporting women through the menopause
The menopause is an important occupational health issue for the 3.5 million women over the age of 50 currently in work and employers need to recognise that women of menopausal age may need extra consideration, as changes during the menopause can affect how a woman does her work, and her relationship with colleagues.
The TUC has published new guidance on how employers and union reps can work together to support women through the menopause at work, please follow the link. This can be used to help raise the issue of the menopause in workplaces, and ensure that employers are aware that poor working conditions can aggravate symptoms.
