Women make up nearly half of the UK workplace. In South Yorkshire we have 72,000 workforce in the NHS and social care, 34,000 of them are women between the age of 40 and 60.

We are calling on all employers to sign the Menopause Workplace Pledge and take positive action to make sure everyone going through the menopause is supported.

The pledge can be signed by all employees, partners and their families to break the stigma of menopause. By signing up we will be able to include your commitment to our Menopause Friendly accreditation which will drive positive change in their workplaces.

Background 

In the last few years, the National Health & Wellbeing team at NHS England has allocated funding to support our ICB and ICS  in order to pilot a range of initiatives to support the health & wellbeing.

Pledge commitment 

Employers signing up to this pledge have committed to support staff with:

  • Supporting colleagues by taking positive action
  • Encourage and support colleagues to attend menopause training programme, webinars and Menopause cafés
  • Encourage Health and wellbeing conversations relating to menopause
