Menopause support in the workplace

In 2016, a Wales TUC survey of almost 4000 workers found that nearly 9 in 10 workers said that the menopause had affected their working life.

The menopause is often treated negatively or as a joke within the workplace. Very few workplaces have policies in place to support those who experience difficulties during the menopause. This needs to change.

As a union rep, you can make a difference.

How will it help me?
