Menopause at work and the Employment Rights Act: what UK employers need to know

This on-demand webinar from Carrot brings together clinical, legal, and business experts to help UK HR, reward, and people leaders understand the Employment Rights Act 2025 menopause obligations and the wider case for action. The session draws on case studies from AstraZeneca, BBC, and Freshfields to illustrate how leading UK organisations are approaching menopause support ahead of the 2027 compliance deadline.

Why menopause support at work matters

The Employment Rights Act puts menopause support on the legal agenda for UK employers for the first time – but the business and legal case for action goes well beyond the legislation.

Menopause discrimination claims are rising in UK employment tribunals. Two-thirds of women say symptoms negatively affect their work. And with Menopause Action Plans becoming mandatory for employers with 250 or more staff in 2027, the question is no longer whether to act – it's whether you can evidence that you have.

This on-demand webinar cuts through the complexity, bringing together expert perspectives on the clinical, legal, and organisational dimensions of menopause at work.

What's covered:

  • The clinical reality of menopause symptoms and their impact on performance, retention, and absence
  • Why menopause discrimination claims are rising — and what that means for employer liability
  • The new Menopause Action Plan requirements under the Employment Rights Act 2025
  • How AstraZeneca, BBC, and Freshfields are approaching menopause support in practice
  • The business case for going beyond minimum compliance
