Law firm Linklaters has set out a global menopause policy to provide support for employees going through it, raise awareness and boost retention among women.

The Magic Circle law firm’s policy is for colleagues who are “directly or indirectly” impacted by the menopause. It includes introducing an online module for managers and supervisors, creating a resource hub on menopause and extending its private medical insurance scheme with AXA Health to cover specialist consultations relating to the condition.
