Menopause has been a taboo subject for far too long. With three in four women experiencing a wide range of symptoms, we will all be touched by it - if not ourselves, then as partners, sons and daughters, friends, colleagues and line managers. It’s important that we’re able to have open, respectful conversations about menopause so nobody feels they have to suffer in silence, or mask what they’re going through. We are committed to being a menopause friendly employer and I encourage other businesses to do the same. It’s an important part of building an inclusive workplace in which we support one another to be our best. Sir Simon Lister, UK & RoW Gender Sponsor and BAE Systems Managing Director for Naval Ships
