Creating a Menopause-Positive Workplace
Care in Mind is proud to have officially signed the Menopause Workplace Pledge as part of our ongoing commitment to creating a supportive, inclusive, and healthy work environment for all of our staff.
With women making up nearly half of the UK workforce, it’s essential that workplaces adapt to meet the needs of staff experiencing the effects of menopause and perimenopause.
By signing this pledge, we commit to taking positive action to make sure our staff feel understood, supported, and empowered. This includes opening up safe spaces for dialogue, adapting working environments where needed, and fostering a culture of awareness and respect. Menopause affects everyone differently, and we want to ensure that all staff feel seen and heard.
Some of the practical steps we’re taking include increasing awareness through staff training, adding menopause-related information to our wellbeing resources, and reviewing our internal policies with inclusive practices in mind.
Julie Burton, Director of People Services at Care in Mind, commented:
“We’re committed to fostering a culture of openness and care, where everyone feels safe and supported. Signing the Menopause Workplace Pledge is just one step we’re taking to demonstrate that our staff’s health and wellbeing matters. We’ll continue to listen, learn and grow as an organisation.”
