Supporting menopause in the workplace
In this special episode of Open Banking Expo Unplugged for the Women in Open Banking initiative, Ellie Duncan is joined by Pauline Nicol, payments partnerships manager, payments and Open Banking at Tesco Bank, and co-founder and director of the Saorsa Menopause Consultancy. The menopause has gone from being a taboo subject to a talked-about topic, both at home and in the workplace, but it is still widely misunderstood. Pauline explains why she and her colleague set up ‘Hot at Tesco’ and the support it provided to colleagues experiencing menopause symptoms, and why it is vital that employers offer support and guidance to female employees going through the perimenopause and menopause. She also reveals the tools and resources available to women and those who want to support their partners, colleagues and parents going through the menopause.
