Third of employers considering introducing menopause policy

A third (33%) of organisations are considering introducing menopause or pregnancy loss policies, and 29% have recently launched ones, according to a poll by specialist online publication Employee Benefits.

It carried out the survey after, it says, many UK businesses introducing menopause policies and support framework for staff to mark World Menopause Day last month.

It also cited the digital health and wellness platform Peppy, which conducted research on the topic and found that 32% of organisations think absence and sickness is the workplace menopause issue that has affected their business the most, while 26% of employers believe their organisation is either not affected by any employee having menopause-related health conditions or does not have any staff of menopausal age.
