No matter the size of your business, you will always need to prepare for one of the most challenging parts of running a business: dismissing an employee.

Wellbeing & Menopause

October is World Menopause Month with the 18th October  specifically being World Menopause Day. The day is to raise awareness, break the stigma and highlight the support options available for improving health and wellbeing.  Research shows 1 in 4 women consider leaving their job due to menopause symptoms (British Menopause Society, 2022).


With over 80% of the social care workforce being women, the WMCA   wish to help our members to raise awareness and show support for those experiencing menopause symptoms in the workplace. 


Be Well Midlands is an initiative for everyone working in health and care in the Midlands. The programme aims to improve wellbeing provision, so staff are able to continue providing exceptional care. We need to be well to care well.
