The British Standards Institute (BSI) recently issued a workplace standard on menstruation, menstrual health and menopause to support employees experiencing these conditions.
Senior Associate, Sophia Zand, has written an article for Personnel Today about if employers do enough to support women, transgender and non-binary people through menopause.
The new standard aims to support employees and encourages employers to implement effective policies to understand and recognize their symptoms and impact on work. Promoting a culture of openness in the workplace is essential, allowing employees to discuss these issues and seek support when needed. Training and awareness sessions for staff and line managers can help enhance understanding and identify available support options.
