Debate between Mims Davies and Flick Drummond

Monday 6th March 2023 Commons Chamber

[Mrs Flick Drummond (Meon Valley) (Con)]

T10. What steps is the Minister taking to raise employers’ awareness of the impact of the menopause?

[Mims Davies]

I know that my hon. Friend takes great interest in supporting women in work, and working with employers is crucial to ensuring that they can both retain and recruit women and that there is no stigma in the workplace for those experiencing the impact of the menopause. I am delighted to announce the appointment of Helen Tomlinson as the DWP menopause employment champion. She will have a key role in driving awareness and promoting the benefits of a fully inclusive workplace to both business and the economy, and I will be sharing further details of her appointment later today.
