Susanne Bisinotto is the Brand Marketing Director at Vitabiotics, the UK’s number one vitamin company, providing expert nutritional care for every stage of life. This includes Menopace, the UK’s number one menopause supplement brand for during and after the menopause.
“It is very important for our organisation to be menopause friendly because we are committed to prioritising the health and wellbeing for all our staff. We aim to create an environment of awareness and understanding, and we know that being a menopause friendly organisation will help us to retain experienced and talented staff.
“One of the biggest impacts we’ve seen is normalising conversations around menopause. We have a qualified Mental Health First Aider available on-site and have introduced an external Employee Assistance Programme. Additionally, we are ready to train all managers to be CPD qualified on menopause in the workplace, including understanding menopause symptoms and how to provide support.
“We’ve found everyone across the business has been open and willing to learn more and get involved, for the benefit of professional and personal understanding.
“As a healthcare business, we really understand the importance of being menopause friendly and that this means support for everybody. We’re committed to continuing to evolve this support programme.
“We’re proud to be sponsoring Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace‘s Menopause Friendly Employer Awards for the third year running. Supporting women as they go through the menopause is at the very heart of our Menopace brand, providing comprehensive vitamin supplements to support nutritional balance during and after the menopause. Awareness and support for those experiencing menopause is important, so we’re delighted to be part of celebrating those employers who are championing this in the workplace.
