Employee Menopause Awareness Support

Supporting our people means creating space for conversations about every stage of life.

Recently, we were pleased to support all of our female employees, regardless of age, who wished to attend one of the Menopause Drop-In Sessions at Small Holding Secrets: Y Pantri.

As a company, we already have a dedicated Menopause Policy within our Employee Handbook, but policies are only one part of creating a genuinely supportive workplace. Raising awareness, encouraging open conversations and giving people the opportunity to learn more about perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause are all vital in helping us better understand and support one another.

The session was led by Karen Gibbard, The Menopause Coach, who created a relaxed and welcoming environment and was incredibly knowledgeable and skilled at answering our questions, discussing individual concerns and helping to make what can sometimes feel like a complicated subject much easier to understand.

And we can't mention our visit without mentioning the food at Y Pantri, which was absolutely outstanding! 🙌

A really valuable session and an important opportunity to learn, talk, share experiences and raise awareness across our workforce.

Thank you to Karen and everyone at Y Pantri for making us feel so welcome. 💗
