Menopause: supporting your employees

October is World Menopause Awareness Month, and 18 October 2022 is World Menopause Day.

We have brought together a toolkit of resources, including how-to-guides, policies and letters. These will help you learn more about the issue and how you can support your staff. We can help you raise awareness of menopause and the support options available, improving the health and wellbeing of those impacted by it.

To help raise awareness, and to make sure your company is fully equipped to support individuals impacted by this, we have put together a FREE checklist to get you started.

Can we help you offer your employees the right support when they’re going through the menopause? Find out by getting in touch with us here.

Employment Law Checklist

It’s time to review your HR policies. We know it’s not a fun job, making sure your policies are up to date, and that you’re compliant with employment law is a really important task to undertake.

That’s because employment law isn’t only there to protect your employees from being treated unfairly. It’s also there to safeguard the best interests of your business too.

And while employment law really does help to create a much smoother, fairer, more genuine employer/employee relationship, my goodness, it can be a real pain to keep on top of.

That’s because things are always changing, updating and evolving. It’s not a bad thing. It’s great that our laws move with the times and that we’re all working hard to create a more balanced life for our people. But that does create a lot of paperwork!

It’s not always straightforward either. As a business owner or manager, you’d be forgiven for feeling completely overwhelmed at the thought of updating your documents – let alone creating them in the first place.

The thing is, it’s really, really important that you make the time for it. Because failing to create the right policies, or not updating them regularly, can put you at risk of landing in an employment tribunal if something should go awry. And none of us have the time, energy, or money for that!

Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be a total nightmare. It’s something that can be tackled pretty easily if you know where to start.

To help you along the way, check out our new guide. It lays out the most important HR policies, procedures and protocols you need to implement and update in your business, today.

Exit interviews capture robust insights

Business leaders should be tapping into exit interviews to gain insights, but only if they are well construed and conducted. This is true when a valued, high-performing employee gives their notice. Business leaders should seize the chance to get their perspective and ensure the employee leaves on good terms. It will also lay the groundwork for them to stay or return at a later date.
