We know that two-thirds of charity staff are women, and consequently, at any one time a significant proportion of our female workers will experience symptoms of menopause which might impact on their working life. So we are pleased to be working with Humber and North Yorkshire Health and Care Partnership (HNYHCP) to help support women in our sector who are experiencing symptoms of menopause.
We’re committed to being a menopause friendly workplace, and as part of this we want to get everyone talking about menopause at work and raise awareness of how employers and colleagues can support women at work.
