In 2022 Spirax Group created global menopause-friendly workplace principles: aiming to help create workplaces and a working culture where anyone experiencing menstruation or menopause is supported in the best way. 

As part of this initiative, a menstruation and menopause toolkit was developed. This was shared internally with colleagues via webinars, and specific training sessions were held with managers in order to raise awareness of the topic and the toolkit. As a Group-wide project and commitment, this is starting new conversations on the topic and helping to address the stigma and culture of silence around the topic of menstrual health, both within Spirax Group and by sharing resources with other organisations.

 This case study will: 

  • give you an understanding of how the menopause impacts the working lives of women and those experiencing menopause
  • provide you with an understanding of how Spirax Group’s menstruation and menopause toolkit was developed and disseminated
  • outline the impact of the toolkit
  • give you guidance and tips to foster an inclusive menopause-friendly workplace
