Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle hopes workplace changes, such as more breathable uniforms for female staff, better-ventilated rooms, on-site clinical nurses, and flexible working, will help those affected.
The House of Commons is to become a"menopause-friendly" workplace with a range of new measures including better-ventilated rooms and flexible working.
Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle will sign a Menopause Workplace Pledge on Monday in the presence of campaigners Penny Lancaster, Lisa Snowdon, Liz Earle and Mariella Frostrup. He said he wanted to"break the taboo" and get"everyone in our parliamentary village talking about it". Sir Lindsay added:"After all, we men are the husbands, partners, brothers, sons and colleagues of those facing the menopause, so it is particularly important that we are onboard as allies to offer our support and understanding."
The Speaker hopes workplace changes, such as more breathable uniforms for female staff, better-ventilated rooms with new fans, on-site clinical nurses, and flexible working to accommodate symptoms, will help those affected.The Wellbeing of Women charity is the organisation behind the pledge, which Sir Lindsay hopes will also be implemented by MPs across their constituency offices.
