Bank of Ireland have become one of Ireland’s first major employers to offer workers paid menopausal leave.
The measure comes into effect on Ireland’s first Menopausal Awareness Week. It was introduced following heavy campaigning from the Financial Services Union for menopause policies to be recognised by employers.
Employees who suffer from menopause related sickness are entitled to 10 days of paid leave under the new policy. Additionally, managers and HR personnel will receive training on how to support staff going through menopause in the workplace.
