As we get older our muscle strength and balance reduces, and this increases our risk of having a life-changing fall. The good news is that we can reduce this risk, and the earlier we start, the better. Being active and doing simple exercises designed to improve strength and balance can make a real difference. Falls are not an inevitable part of ageing, and we can all take steps to help us stay strong and steady and keep our independence.

What Can We Do?

Stay Active: The recommendation is to do 150 minutes per week of activity that raises your heart rate a little, but this can be done in short ten minute bursts if you prefer.

Build Our Strength and Balance: The recommendation is to do strength and balance activity (at least 10-20 minutes) on 2 or more days of the week.

The menopause can have a big impact on the daily lives of employees and, in turn, a negative impact on their performance and attendance at work. Some symptoms may last for several years and can include anxiety, reduced concentration, sleep disturbance, hot flushes and heavy periods - all of which can be both physically and emotionally distressing. The psychological effects can also impact relationships in the workplace. For some, symptoms are so severe that they need to take time off or leave their job altogether, but feel unable to disclose their reasons for absence to their managers.

Organisations should treat the menopause as they would any other health issue, not only to break the stigma and taboo surrounding the menopause at work, but to create an inclusive environment where employees and managers feel able to discuss any reasonable adjustments that may be needed.

This guide is designed to support any employer wanting to develop a supportive framework for employees experiencing the menopause. Please note that we are not providing legal or medical advice, but practical guidance - employers may also need to obtain their own specialist advice on the approach to take in any individual case.

Please note
While we predominantly talk about women in relation to the menopause in this guidance, we also recognise that it can impact some transgender and non-binary people who will require support and flexibility relevant to their needs.

Menopause shouldn't be a taboo, and everyone should feel they can have a conversation with their line manager, especially when they need guidance and advice. But how confident do you think a member of your team would feel to talk to you about the menopause? has shown that almost a million women have left their job because of menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, night sweats and increased anxiety, while others are forced to take long-term absence from work to manage symptoms.

Often a few simple changes to the working environment can make a world of difference - even just talking about the menopause openly can reduce the impact of some symptoms and enable people to continue performing well in their roles. Line managers play a vital role in supporting colleagues with menopausal symptoms and t his guide will help you to:

be confident about your role in managing and supporting colleagues with menopausal symptoms

understand and reduce the barriers that could potentially prevent a colleague going through the menopause transition from performing and/or developing to their full potential

identify appropriate workplace changes or adjustments to support team members and help them thrive at work

foster an inclusive working environment in which everyone is treated fairly.

While we predominantly talk about women in relation to the menopause in this guidance, we also recognise and appreciate that it can impact trans and non-binary people who don't identify as women in the same manner. Although unusual, menopause can still be experienced by a few trans masculine and non-binary-identified people whose female characteristics may persist at this stage of their lives. They require the same support and flexibility in the workplace as others with similar symptoms.
