Guidance launched with aims to break down the stigma

In March 2019, the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development-the professional body for Human Resources practitioners in the UKlaunched a suite of resources and guidance on the menopause.

The aim was for every organisation to break down the stigma and create menopause-friendly workplaces.

Research showed that a quarter of organisations now have a framework to support women experiencing menopause transition.

It also helped launch the Menopause Workplace Pledge, with three commitments:

Recognise that the menopause can be an issue in the workplace and that women need support;

Talk openly, positively and respectfully about the menopause;
