Menopause and the Workplace Policy

The issue encompasses employer obligations to provide workplace support, paid bereavement leave for miscarriage and pre-24-week pregnancy loss, and amendments to the Employment Rights Bill to clarify that supporting reproductive health conditions constitutes advancing gender equality. Current provision is inconsistent across employers and inadequate statutory protections exist.
