At Kew Green we absolutely aim to facilitate an open working environment, and really encourage any women to inform their line manager if they are experiencing menopausal symptoms. This will ensure that we can support you with any symptoms. Early notification will also help your line manager understand the best ways to support you and what your individual needs are. Below you will find our menopause policy and other information that you may find useful.
At Kew Green we love to talk! Line managers have been equipped with the information needed to be able to support women that may be being impacted by the menopause. We know that this can be a really difficult time and can impact not just physically but mentally too .
As an employee of Kew Green you also get access to our Employee Assistance Program which you may find a great support. You can access this via the Hapi Hub
If you are researching menopause and looking for some really good information and tips, we really recommend this blog site. Its packed full of information and real life accounts which are really informative whether you are experiencing the menopause or supporting someone through it.

Menopause Matters- They provide information about the menopause, the symptoms and treatment options.
The Daisy Network- They provide support to women facing pre menopausal symptoms.
The Menopause Café- This charity creates events where people can meet, eat cake, drink tea and discuss the menopause- a favourite!!
