Irish employers may face legal action for not making workplaces menopause-friendly, following new UK guidelines. Severe menopausal symptoms may now be considered a disability, impacting employee performance. Irish Equality Minister commissioned research on menopause and menstrual health in the workplace, expecting new guidelines this year. UK guidelines recommend ‘reasonable adjustments’, such as temperature control and flexible working, to help manage symptoms. Research shows one-third of Irish women considered quitting their jobs due to menopausal symptoms. The Menopause Hub is launching an app to provide information, track symptoms, and improve treatments. The app aims to improve outcomes for women and future generations.
