Today is World Menopause Day and the NIPSA Equality Committee is issuing its Guidance on Menopause and the Workplace.

The guide was published in October 2018 and has been produced for branches and activists to assist female members in the workplace and to bring about improved working conditions for women who are going through the menopause.

We are calling on branches to take the opportunity on World Menopause Day to raise awareness of how the menopause affects so many women in the workplace and press employers to take action to address the health and safety and equality issues linked to the menopause. Employers must ensure risk assessments take the needs of menopausal women into account and that measures to effectively remove or control risks are implemented.
