Blog: Why the menopause is everyone’s responsibility
Ahead of World Menopause Day on 18 October, Matt Munro, of telematics broker Igo4, discusses the importance of a strategy to manage menopause in the workplace, and why it’s just as important to include men in the conversation as it is women.
Menopause is a subject not often heard around the office, particularly if you’re a man. Perhaps a generalisation, though it’s often viewed as a topic either exclusively for women, or one for human resources.
It may come across male managers’ desks when their colleague is struggling with the symptoms, from headaches and hot flushes to anxiety and depression. Even then, however, such approaches appear to be few and far between, as statistics make for uncomfortable reading.
