14.1. The Government has announced that it will introduce a new requirement for employers with 250 or more employees to develop and publish an ‘action plan’ showing steps that they are taking in relation to their employees with regard to gender equality. This will include addressing the gender pay gap and supporting employees going through the menopause. This is likely to be an annual requirement for those employers.
14.2. In addition, matters related to menstrual problems will be included in the definition of “matters related to gender equality” and may require employers to produce an equality action plan.
14.3. The Government has also announced plans to develop menopause guidance for employers, although no further information is available as yet.
