Benefits for your Organisation
Attract Talent
By addressing menopause explicitly, employers signal that their organization is attuned to the needs of employees at every life stage. This openness not only boosts employer branding but makes companies attractive to potential hires who value workplaces that offer meaningful support and understanding.
Retain Talent
Menopause-friendly workplaces experience lower employee turnover rates. Policies that provide flexibility, support, and accommodations help retain skilled, experienced employees who might otherwise consider early retirement or moving elsewhere due to menopause-related challenges.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Menopause often coincides with significant career advancement opportunities, yet many individuals leave their careers prematurely due to insufficient support. Being menopause-friendly ensures that organizations retain experienced talent, directly contributing to meeting DE&I and gender diversity objectives. By supporting employees through menopause, companies cultivate leadership pipelines enriched by diverse experiences and perspectives.
Psychosocial Care
Menopause can significantly increase stress and anxiety. Employers that raise awareness and incorporate menopause support into their psychosocial care strategies can effectively enhance employee well-being. Comprehensive psychosocial support fosters a healthier, more supportive workplace environment.
Increased Productivity
Providing clear support channels and raising menopause awareness ensures employees feel empowered to seek assistance without stigma. As a result, employees maintain higher engagement and productivity levels, knowing their workplace actively supports their health and well-being.
Reduced Absenteeism
Organizations that foster open conversations and encourage employees to access menopause-related support report lower absenteeism and improved job satisfaction. Employees who feel acknowledged and supported are more likely to manage symptoms effectively, reducing disruption to their work life.
Becoming a menopause-friendly employer is not only ethically sound but strategically beneficial, driving attraction and retention of top talent, enhancing DE&I initiatives, improving employee well-being, and increasing overall organizational productivity and satisfaction.
