Han Law has formed a strategic partnership with Haley White, the founder of Menospace, to address the challenges faced by menopausal women in the workplace. This collaboration seeks to provide niche menopause-related training and consultancy services to employers, ensuring a supportive environment for employees. The initiative stems from Han Law’s ‘Menopause at Work’ survey, which revealed that 85% of women are uncomfortable discussing menopause-related issues at work.
White’s role as a consultant will focus on delivering bespoke consultancy, strategic and legal advice, and accredited training for managers. This will be complemented by employee surveys and analysis, alongside dedicated workshops designed to foster an inclusive workplace environment. By integrating menopause-specific expertise with Han Law’s employment law services, the partnership aims to improve the overall experience for menopausal women in the workforce.
Hannah Strawbridge, CEO and founder of Han Law, highlighted the urgency of the initiative, citing that nearly one million of the 6.5 million menopausal women in the UK workforce have left their jobs due to a lack of support. She commented, “After conducting our menopause at work survey, we weren’t just paying lip service to the issue of how it affects so many women in the workplace. We intended to create a solution, and bringing Haley on board is the perfect way to execute that.” This collaboration aims to enhance employee retention and satisfaction, encapsulating a commitment to corporate social responsibility.
According to Haley White, the collaboration is poised to be transformative for organisations, combining Menospace’s training expertise with Han Law’s robust legal advice. She stated, “Menospace teaming up with Han Law is a game-changer for organisations. Together, we bring the perfect mix of expertise to help create inclusive and legally compliant workplaces.” The partnership is envisioned as a means to ensure workplaces are supportive and compliant with employment regulations, ultimately aiming at fostering a more inclusive environment.
This collaboration underscores a significant step towards creating inclusive workspaces, addressing crucial retention and support issues for menopausal women.
