Accenture has gained menopause friendly accreditation in recognition of the support it offers employees around hormonal health.

The professional services company, which has UK offices in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, and Edinburgh, and employs 738,000 people globally, joined 50 other organisations that have already received the endorsement by demonstrating its perimenopause and menopause provisions.

Jill Ross, a managing director at Accenture, who leads the firm’s menopause community network in the UK, said: “Menopause can no longer be taboo at work. We are proud to be a menopause friendly employer and strive to support women, and all our people, with their hormonal health and create a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

“By having better information and open conversations, organisations can go some way to dispelling myths about the menopause and empower their people. Breaking down barriers on the menopause helps us all to be better leaders and colleagues and forms part of our journey to becoming one of the most inclusive companies in the world.”

The Independent Panel of Menopause Friendly, established by Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, accredited the firm after it had introduced initiatives including healthcare support, ensuring menopause formed part of its wider health and wellbeing benefits programme. The use of a digital healthcare app allows employees to access menopause experts for virtual consultations, chats, and more.

The company also set up more wellness rooms for those who need them, a community of 300 employees named MenoWarriors, regular support sessions with specialist speakers, and training and education to raise awareness of symptoms and signpost relevant resources.

Deborah Garlick, CEO of Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace, added: “Accenture has displayed a clear commitment to equality with an ambitious programme of initiatives to normalise the menopause – led by their grassroots community with passion. Being a menopause-friendly employer makes a substantial difference to careers and lives, not just for today, but for generations to come.”

Benefits Unboxed – Wellbeing: HR is supporting everyone, but who’s supporting HR?
byBenefits Expert from Definite Article Media

As the professionals responsible for helping their organisations navigate NI hikes, rising employee stress levels and looming redundancies, the pressure on HR, reward and benefits teams has never been greater. 

HR is expected to lead with strength and compassion. But who is supporting the supporters?

In this episode of Benefits Unboxed, co-hosts Claire Churchard, Carole Goldsmith and Steve Herbert explore the emotional and ethical pressures HR face today, from managing redundancies to implementing complex legislation. They discuss why HR’s own wellbeing may not be the first topic of conversation, the risks that poses to employers, and the practical steps businesses can take to better support the wellbeing of the people who support everyone else.

This conversation shines a light on the resilience of the profession and why looking after HR is not just the right thing to do, but a business imperative.
