Holiday park operator Parkdean Resorts has introduced dedicated support and services to its employees who are going through the menopause.
Workers at all of Parkdean Resorts’ UK parks and offices can now access an online menopause clinic that provides holistic care, provided by My Menopause Centre. In a 45-minute fast-track consultation with a specialist doctor, employees can receive personalised support. Information, treatment, prescriptions and advice are then offered through a tailored plan, with ongoing support and care provided for as long as employees need.
The move is part of Parkdean Resorts’ commitment to ensure it provides a safe and inclusive workplace for all its employees and help women to take control of their symptoms and thrive.
Other initiatives it has launched to support staff include signing the age-friendly employer pledge, training more workers as mental health first aiders and partnering with the British Heart Foundation to provide on-site heart health checks.
Becky Cain, wellbeing and inclusion manager at Parkdean Resorts, said: “Ensuring the good health and wellbeing of our staff is of the utmost importance here at Parkdean Resorts and we’re proud to announce our partnership with My Menopause Centre. A sensitive and somewhat taboo subject, we’re keen to change the stigma to help our employees feel confident about seeking help and advice if they need to.
“The support that is available is already a valuable resource that is proving popular with our staff. We look forward to growing our partnership with My Menopause Centre and continuing to provide an inclusive and welcoming working environment.”
