18 October 2023
October is World Menopause Month, and 18 October 2023 is marked as World Menopause Awareness Day.
We’re committed to developing a supportive culture for all colleagues experiencing the perimenopause and menopause. Earlier this year we launched our menopause policy which aims to educate and inform managers of their responsibility to understand how the perimenopause and menopause can affect individuals, and how they can support those experiencing the menopause at work.
For more support and to help you find out more, Joined Up Care Derbyshire has a wealth of ongoing menopause support sessions.
Here’s what's taking place in the next couple of weeks:
Wednesday 18 October 2023 From 11am to 11.45am Your pension and the menopause information and support session
