<p>In July 2021, DWP asked members of the 50 PLUS Roundtable on older workers to look
at the important issue of menopause and employment given the impact menopause can
have on women’s working lives, particularly in the latter stages of their careers.
An independent <em>‘menopause and the workplace’ </em>report was published later in
2021 and the Government’s response was outlined in July 2022.</p><p> </p><p>The Government
has again committed, in its response to Recommendation 6 of the Women and Equalities
Select Committees report: <em>Menopause and the Workplace</em>, that they will appoint
a DWP Menopause Employment Champion. The Menopause Employment Champion will work with
the Women’s Health Ambassador on the issue of menopause and employment and drive forward
work with employers on menopause workplace issues and spearhead the proposed collaborative
employer-led campaign as outlined in the independent report.</p>
