This year's theme for International Women’s Day is #EmbraceEquity
Equity recognises that each person has different circumstances, and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome.
Menopause impacts everyone differently with no two experiences being the same. Individualised practical solutions, including ad-hoc reasonable adjustments, are essential to ensure there is equity amongst those experiencing menopausal challenges at work.
Some may not need any, others a few ‘manager agreed’ adjustments and others may require a range of workplace adjustments which should be regularly reviewed.
