Menopause discrimination still rife in the workplace research by Sussex firm reveals

Female employees are hiding their symptoms and discomfort to avoid discrimination in the workplace due to menopause, research by leading Sussex law firm Mayo Wynne Baxter has revealed.

A new survey, conducted by the firm, shows that despite increased awareness by celebrities such as Davina McCall, women experiencing peri-menopause and menopausal symptoms are still embarrassed to talk about it at work (39 per cent), and are in favour of additional menopause support from employers (60 per cent).
