We have formally committed to becoming a Menopause Friendly employer and have begun our journey towards official accreditation.
As part of this commitment, we are working closely with Menopause Friendly to introduce a comprehensive menopause policy, alongside a range of resources designed to support colleagues at every stage of their menopause journey. Planned initiatives include the creation of a Menopause Café, providing a safe and supportive space for open conversations, as well as guidance and training to help managers feel confident in offering the right support.
This proactive approach reflects our wider commitment to colleague wellbeing and to creating an inclusive, supportive working environment where people feel listened to and valued.
Dan Blackith, head of people & culture, said: “At Milewood, we are dedicated to creating a workplace where every colleague feels supported, respected and valued. Menopause can have a significant impact on people’s lives and careers, and we want to ensure our teams feel able to talk openly and access the help they need. By becoming a Menopause Friendly employer, we are reinforcing our commitment to wellbeing and continuing to build an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.“
“The accreditation process is very comprehensive, but it will ensure our policies are robust and that we can support colleagues in the best way possible.”
