This British Standard gives guidance on developing policies and practices that are supportive of the menstrual and peri/menopausal health and experience of employees in the workplace.

The standard does not cover medical guidance or clinical options outside of the workplace. However, it does include reference to qualified sources where such information is available.

The standard is of use to managers, as well as human resources (HR), health and safety (H&S), occupational health (OH), architects and interior designers undertaking office fit-outs, and specialists in wellbeing and diversity and inclusion (D&I). It is for those employees who are responsible for managing individuals’ performances, workloads, wellbeing or work environments.
