Menopause is a workplace issue. ‘Surely not?’ I hear you mutter. It’s a personal, private thing, right? Wrong. Women in the peri-menopause and menopausal age bracket are the fastest-growing employed demographic, with over 4.5 million of us currently in the UK workforce.

Anyone who knows me fairly well will have noticed 2 things about me over the last few months: 1. On a daily basis, I will lose words. Yesterday I described a hip-flask as ‘the small square thing’ and the day before I couldn’t think of the word for magic and instead ...
