Menopause advisory service

Organisational menopause policy consultation, writing and review service
Menopause awareness training: Can help employees (female and male) understand the basics of the menopause, issues that can arise and what they can do to help. This could take the form of line management training or training specific members of staff as menopause ‘support buddies’.
Easily accessible information: If you have a work intranet site, then create a menopause page with information on causes symptoms, treatments, and coping strategies. Include links to further medical advice and contact details for human resources and/or occupational health.
Webchat/FAQs: Regular webchats or myth-busting sessions with a specialist menopause healthcare professional will give staff a trusted source of advice. This may also be helpful for employees whose partners are going through the menopause.
Menopause forum: Give employees a space to meet with others to share experiences, swap suggestions for ways of coping, and as a place to raise issues for employers to consider.
Create a ‘reasonable adjustment passport’: This is a record of adjustments agreed between an employee and their manager. The purpose of the passport is so everyone is clear what changes have been agreed, and to reduce the need for reassessment every time an employee changes role, or is assigned a new manager.
Be flexible: Be open to any flexible working requests where possible. Allowing a change her working hours, or to work from home, could make all the difference in her tackling and coping with her menopausal symptoms.
Menopause ‘Support Buddies’: These are members of staff who are trained to be a point of contact and listening ear for those who feel they may be suffering with perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
