South Lanarkshire Council has introduced updated policies to support female employees.
Councillors at Wednesday's full council meeting (November 7), approved plans to introduce measures for the council to become a menopause-friendly employer and gain an accredited status, to support the Time to Test campaign and to introduce policies to support female employees on menstruation.
The council seeks to support all employees’ wellbeing regardless of gender. But with females making up just over 74 per cent of the workforce, there are key health areas the council wishes to provide additional support and guidance on.
