“As part of our commitment to our colleagues and to creating an inclusive and compassionate work environment, we have enhanced our employee benefits to include specialised support for anyone affected by menopause and fertility-related issues.
“Colleague wellbeing is our priority and we appreciate the impact ongoing health issues or major life events can have – and that access to the right support at the right time can be a lifeline. With this enhanced package, we are acknowledging and respecting the personal and health challenges our colleagues may face, and our aim is to provide access to useful and practical help, support and advice.”
