Episode 9: How the industry can retain and support employees through perimenopause & menopause

In this episode, Neil Carberry, REC Chief Executive, talks to Helen Tomlinson, Head of Talent Development at The Adecco Group and the UK’s first-ever Menopause Employment Champion, as appointed by the Department for Work and Pensions. Helen shares her experiences of supporting women across the recruitment industry and how, in her new role as Menopause Employment Champion, she is working with employers to better support and retain women through perimenopause and menopause. In this episode, you’ll hear about: The importance of supporting women through perimenopause & menopause in the recruitment industry. How supporting women through perimenopause & menopause periods in their life is linked to retaining women in the workforce more broadly.

Helen “In the context of a world where we are short of high-quality recruiters, and we are short of candidates. People are going to stay at the places that they feel they belong.” Neil
