Some of the most important workplace conversations are still the hardest to have. Menopause is one of them.
World Menopause Day is an opportunity to raise awareness, deepen understanding and challenge the stigma around a life stage that affects millions of women around the world, often during some of the most experienced years of their career.
Not every experience is visible. But greater awareness can help us better understand what others may be going through, create space for more open conversations and make it easier for people to find the support they need.
At Standard Chartered, we’re committed to creating a workplace where these conversations can happen openly, and where colleagues can access support throughout their careers, including medical cover for menopause-related symptoms, workplace adjustments and wellbeing resources.
