Commons speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle will sign a promise of menopause in the workplace on Monday in the presence of activists Penny Lancaster, Lisa Snowdon, Liz Earle and Mariella Frostrup. He said that he wanted to “break the taboo” and make “everyone in our parliamentary village discuss it”. Sir Lindsay added: “Ultimately, we men are the spouses, partners, brothers, sons and colleagues of those experiencing menopause, so it is especially important to be allies in offering our support and understanding. ». The speaker hopes that changes in the workplace, such as more uniforms for female staff to breathe, better ventilated rooms with new fans, on-site clinical nurses and flexible work to deal with symptoms, will help those affected. The Wellbeing of Women charity is the organization behind the commitment, which Sir Lindsay hopes will also be implemented by MPs in all constituencies in their constituencies. However, the President has not announced any action on issues related to the period. Spain recently introduced a new initiative that offers up to three days off a month to women experiencing menstrual cramps – the first of its kind in Europe. Bupa estimated that nearly one million women in the UK have been forced to quit their jobs due to menopausal symptoms, which include hot flashes and mood swings. The public service signed the commitment to menopause in the workplace at an event on Tuesday. Health Minister Sajid Javid said: “For some women, the symptoms of menopause can be extremely debilitating and it is absolutely important that they feel confident in seeking support at work. “This promise will ensure that women working in all public services feel supported.”
