Menopause Friendly Accreditation

The Menopause Friendly Accreditation was established by Henpicked: Menopause In The Workplace in 2020 to certify high standards and proven practices that embrace menopause in the workplace.

Industry-recognised and the only accreditation that sets clear standards which must be met, the Menopause Friendly Accreditation is truly meaningful and considered as a mark of excellence for menopause in the workplace.

In order to achieve the Menopause Friendly Accreditation, Close Brothers was assessed by an Independent Panel and had to demonstrate evidence of its effectiveness in five key areas, namely: culture, policies and practices, training, engagement and working environment.

A “best in class” marker, the Menopause Friendly Accreditation differentiates employers who have demonstrated the positive impact of their actions in supporting people experiencing menopause. 

Tara Kilduff, sponsor of the Menoforum Working Group said:

“I am very proud to be part of the Menoforum Working Group, who have delivered a huge amount of change to support our colleagues going through perimenopause and menopause. 

Having a safe space to discuss what you are going through, and being supported with any necessary adjustments to make the symptoms more bearable is a very big deal, and it’s so very important that the diversity and inclusion agenda continues to push forward.”
