'Me, Work and the Menopause' - Menopause is a Workplace Issue Survey

1. The Menopause is a Workplace Issue Survey

0%

The menopause is a natural part of the ageing process and yet in many workplaces is still regarded as a taboo subject. Many women experience significant physical and emotional side effects during the menopause years and often find their symptoms are made worse by work.


Usdaw wants to find out more about the experiences of its women members during menopause so we can identify what more employers need to be doing to support women at work.

 

Could you spare a couple of minutes to answer some questions about your experience? You do not have to share any personal details.


Usdaw will use the results from this survey to support and evidence our campaigning work. Information on how we process and store personal data can be found in our privacy notice.
