MPs call for 'menopause leave' trial to support women at work

A committee of MPs is calling for a"menopause leave" pilot scheme to help support women in the workplace.

A report from the Women and Equalities Committee said symptoms - including difficulty sleeping, anxiety and memory problems - can have a"significant and sometimes debilitating impact" on women, and offering leave could help stop them feeling forced out of their jobs. They want the government to organise a pilot of the scheme with a public sector employer and to publish a evaluation of it within 12 months, including proposals for further rollout.The committee's chair, Tory MP Caroline Nokes, said:"Menopause is inevitable. The steady haemorrhage of talented women from our workforce, however, is not."Stigma, shame and dismissive cultures can, and must, be dismantled.

The report makes a number of recommendations in addition to the pilot, including appointing a menopause ambassador to help to introduce model workplace policies - such as how to request reasonable adjustments, advice on flexible working and sick leave, and how to build a supportive culture.

Not forgetting those women suffering who don't WANT to be at work , no choice as they DONT HAVE THEIR SRATE PENSION !!!! BackTo60 waspi

All the trannie fannies will be wanting the same rights....

You know when MPs call for something, it's for votes. So who will pick up the bill for this. Not working woman as they will be off for 10 days every month. You guessed it. The working man....

Sick of having menopause rammed down my throat, women used to just get on with it

I'll happily take paid time off to give women a pause from men in the workplace 😄

And yet zero support or leave to help and assist veterans struggling with PTSD
