was yesterday!
I hardly saw any posts about it sadly… why am I sad??
Menopause affects 51% of the population however effects EVERYONE….
And just like grief, mental health, long term health conditions, disabilities, caring responsibilities and more….. It’s not given enough education, resource or consideration in most areas of work!
Policies are a literally a starting point, culture, behaviour and expectations are what actually define how supportive organisations are or not!
It’s really quite simple, we need person centred, equitable support that empowers women to show up authentically and not mask symptoms and challenges & we need understanding and allyship from colleagues. We need this for everything that impacts life and work as stated above including menopause!
I’d love to hear about the amazing organisations out there who work in this way, please share best practices so others can learn and follow suit!
