Menopause support in the UK

31 Aug 2023

In August 2023, some 20 colleagues from the UK Hardlines/Softlines business came together for the first meeting of the UK Menopause Network. Set up to provide support and education for anyone going through the various stages of menopause, the network also offers useful information for those not currently affected, who want to know what to expect or how they can help colleagues, partners, family or friends.

With a British Menopause Society survey finding that 45% of women feel menopausal symptoms have a negative impact on their work – and 25% consider leaving their job – this is an issue that needs serious consideration. Our Menopause Network is a good starting point, helping to build a supportive culture.
