Big law firms in the UK are beginning to offer global menopause policies and support packages to their employees. Firms such as Linklaters are providing their employees with resources and education regarding menopause to help encourage an open dialogue about what it is and how to navigate it.
Jessamy Gallagher, the executive committee champion for age and life stage at Linklaters said, “Menopause symptoms can have a detrimental impact on anybody living with them, and their working lives are not exempt from that.”
Firms link Linklaters are paving the way for more employers to better understand the impact fertility treatments, pregnancy losses and menopause can have on employees and how to support them with programs and policies through these times.
We only hope that other employers start to implement important policies and support packages, like Linklaters, in the future.
