Menopause symptoms can have a significant impact on both work and home life - affecting wellbeing, confidence and performance.

For line managers, having a basic understanding of menopause and how to offer support can make a real difference to employee experience and retention.

In our latest blog, we cover:
• Menopause symptoms and their impact at work
• How managers can support employees
• What employees can do to support themselves
• The role of occupational health

👉 Read the blog here: https://www.optimahealth.co.uk/menopause-support-for-managers/

With many people experiencing menopause during their working lives, offering the right support isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s essential to an effective wellbeing strategy, and a more inclusive and supportive workplace.

19/03/2026

🌸 Government guidance now encourages employers to help employees manage menopause symptoms through occupational health support - and more organisations are recognising the importance of reducing health‑related barriers that affect women at work.

Only 19% of women surveyed in 2022 were aware of the menopause support available in their workplace (GOV.UK), showing how vital it is to make guidance visible and accessible. Employees who receive the right support are also less likely to report a negative impact on their work.

💙March is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month - a reminder of how important early detection really is.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK, with over 52,000 men diagnosed each year and 1 in 8 men affected in their lifetime (Prostate Cancer UK).

Creating a workplace where people feel supported to look after their health can make a real difference. Onsite health assessments help employees understand their risks early, get practical guidance, and take proactive steps to stay well.

As part of this month’s awareness activity, we’re offering a 10% saving on next year’s onsite health assessment delivery for organisations booking before the end of March - a small way to help you support your people and your budget.

More people than ever are juggling childcare while also caring for ageing parents or relatives - often quietly, and without recognition.

With more than one million people in the UK in dual-caring roles, the so-called “sandwich generation” is growing. As our population ages, this is increasingly becoming a workplace issue, not just a personal one.

For HR teams, employers and line managers, understanding the realities of unpaid carers is essential to building a supportive and sustainable workplace.

In our latest blog, we explore:

🔍 What it means to be an unpaid carer
💼 The impact dual caring responsibilities can have on wellbeing and work
❤️ Practical ways employers can provide meaningful support

A supportive workplace can make a real difference - to retention, engagement and wellbeing.

❤️ February is National Heart Month - a reminder that small daily habits can make a big difference to our heart health.

The British Heart Foundation recommends aiming for 150 minutes of moderate activity each week - roughly 30 minutes a day - and that’s achievable even when working from home.

Here are a few simple ways home workers can build movement into the day:

🏃‍♀️ Brisk micro-walks between meetings
🧘‍♂️ Desk‑friendly stretches
🏡 A short lunchtime walks
🪜 Stair intervals
🕺 Light movement breaks to break up sitting time

Heart health is shaped by our daily routines - including the way we work. That’s why Occupational Health plays such an important role. For organisations with home‑based teams, regular employee health checks help identify risks early and support long‑term wellbeing, confidence and peace of mind.

💙 If now feels like the right time to focus on prevention, we’re here to help: wellbeing.sales@optimahealth.co.uk
