Download the Communicate Inclusively Menopause Policy template

Having a menopause policy in place can provide several benefits for both employees and the organisation. Some of the benefits include:

• Support and accommodations for employees experiencing menopause: A menopause policy can provide specific accommodations and support for employees experiencing menopause, such as flexible scheduling, temperature control in the workplace, and time off for medical appointments. This can help employees manage their symptoms and continue to be productive at work.

• Increased awareness and understanding of menopause: A menopause policy can include training for all employees to increase their awareness and understanding of menopause, which can help create a more inclusive and supportive workplace culture.

• Discrimination and harassment prevention: A menopause policy can include specific language addressing discrimination and harassment related to menopause status, which can help to protect employees from experiencing these issues in the workplace.

• Legal compliance: Having a menopause policy in place can help organisations comply with relevant laws and regulations that protect employees experiencing menopause.

• Improved employee retention and recruitment: A menopause policy can help organisations to retain and recruit talented employees who may be experiencing menopause, by providing them with the support and accommodations they need to remain productive and engaged at work.

• Increased productivity and morale: A menopause policy can help employees to manage their symptoms and stay productive, which can contribute to increased productivity and morale among the workforce.
