Menopause and Reasonable Adjustment webinar

Employers have a responsibility to ensure fair treatment, make reasonable adjustments, and provide a safe and supportive working environment for colleagues going through menopause.

Under the Equality Act 2010, employers are required to make reasonable adjustments to support workers with disabilities. Where an employee’s menopause symptoms amount to a disability, these adjustments may include changes to working conditions and hours, or providing suitable facilities, such as fans or access to cool areas. The duty to make reasonable adjustments may also include allowing employees to work flexibly or in a different location (e.g. from home).
