Digital health and wellness platform Peppy has launched a menopause resource pack for employers which includes, expert guidance on menopause, its impact on employees and organisations, and how to help staff.
The resources, developed by Peppy’s director of menopause services and former chair of British Menopause Society Kathy Abernethy, include an employee survey, expert’s guide to menopause at work, menopause symptoms factsheet, and menopause and pensions guidance.
The pack provides employers with the tools to build their knowledge and find out how menopause affects their employees’ working lives, information on common misconceptions, myth-busting, tips, and guidance to trusted sources of help.
It also includes information on the impact of menopause on the gender pensions gap. One in four women consider leaving work because of menopause symptoms which could affect their pensions according to Peppy.
Peppy CEO Mridula Pore says: “Many companies really want to do more to help their colleagues during menopause but just don’t know where to start. We developed these resources to give them the confidence to make those first steps.
“Knowledge is empowering, and we’ve found that the right information can be transformational for individuals and companies. These resources have been developed to help companies get up to speed, give them the confidence to have the conversation and understand what will really make a difference to their colleagues.”
