We're proud to employ a workforce that is 80% female. And we're proud to be a menopause-friendly employer. As a healthcare provider offering flexible, part time working opportunities, perhaps that's not so surprising. As part of our commitment to being a menopause-and-menstruation-friendly employer, we have a women's employee network that celebrates and supports the incredible women who work with us. And with 31% of our female workforce being 40-55, we take peri-menopause and menopause support seriously! Our network provides resources and regular opportunities for women and allies to learn about the peri-menopause and menopause, understand how it affects our work and home life, and provides a wide network of support for women who may be affected. #WomenSupportingWomen
