Employment Rights | A menopause policy states intent. A Menopause Action Plan requires proof

Under the Employment Rights Act 2025, large employers (250+ employees) will be required to publish Menopause Action Plans (MAPs) on the gender pay gap service. Voluntary submission begins from now. Mandatory requirements follow in Spring 2027.

For HR and Benefits leaders, the gap between writing a policy and publishing a defensible plan is wider than they realise. Under MAPs support needs to be evidenced, published and defended.
