Menopause Support at Sainsbury's

Menopause is an event that many women experience during their working life and we want to raise awareness, educate and talk openly about it in order to better support our colleagues during this time. Our Colleague Guide to the Menopause was launched on World Menopause Day 2021 and aims to raise awareness of the different ways menopause can affect women in all aspects of their lives, including at work. The health of every colleague is important to us and the menopause can affect our male colleagues too, both in their personal life if they have female partners, mothers or children experiencing it, and professionally by working alongside female colleagues.

We have also signed the Wellbeing of Women Menopause Workplace Pledge, and we commit to:

• Recognising the menopause can be an issue in the workplace and women need support
• Talking openly, positively and respectfully about menopause
• Actively supporting and informing our colleagues affected by menopause
