Framework

ISO 45010 gives workplaces guidance on menstruation and menopause and describes how the work can be integrated into the occupational health and safety management system. We help you interpret the guidance and put it into practice in your existing work environment management.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why is women’s health a work environment issue?
Menstruation, PMS, perimenopause and menopause can affect wellbeing, work ability and attendance. Many organisations lose experienced female leaders and specialists at the stage when they have the most to give. That is why the topic belongs in systematic work environment management – not only with the individual.
What can employers do about menopause symptoms at work?
Give managers the knowledge and confidence to have the conversation, develop guidelines and review adjustments to the work environment and job design. The manager’s role is to create the right conditions – not to make medical assessments.
What is ISO 45010?
ISO 45010 is an international standard with guidance for workplaces on menstruation and menopause. It describes how this work can be integrated into the occupational health and safety management system. Read more about ISO 45010.
How do we get started?
Many start with a talk or workshop that creates a shared language, or with our guide to women’s health at work. We then map the current situation, priorities and next steps together.
