Respect the menopause or be sued.

Employers could face disability discrimination lawsuits if they fail to make reasonable adjustments for menopausal women, as clarified by the Equality and Human Rights Commission. Symptoms like hot flushes and difficulty sleeping can be considered a disability under the Equality Act if they significantly impact daily activities. Recommendations include temperature adjustments, flexible working arrangements, and protection from harassment. The guidance aims to ensure employers understand their legal obligations to support menopausal women in the workplace.
