The Dungarvan & West Waterford Chamber has been honoured with the prestigious Menopause Workplace Excellence Award 2024 in the Best Small Business category.
This recognition, presented by The Menopause Hub Academy in partnership with Great Place to Work Ireland, celebrates the Chamber’s pioneering work in fostering menopause-friendly workplaces.
By encouraging member businesses to implement these policies, the Chamber aims to build healthier, more inclusive work environments where women can thrive without fear of discrimination or discomfort.
Speaking about the award, the Chamber’s CEO Jenny Beresford said: “We are thrilled to be recognised nationally for our efforts in championing menopause wellness in the workplace. Raising awareness of the challenges surrounding menopause and providing the necessary support and resources not only fosters equality and inclusion, but it also honours the contributions women make to the workforce. Our goal is to create an empowering and respectful workplace that values all employees.”
To further support this cause, the Chamber invites all businesses to an upcoming online event, 'Menopause in the Workplace Information Session,' taking place on Tuesday, 15th October, from 10am – 11am.
This session, led by Loretta Dignam, CEO & Founder of The Menopause Hub, will break down the stigma surrounding menopause, clarify common misconceptions, and provide actionable steps for creating menopause-friendly workplaces.
Awarded Event of the Year 2023 by Chambers Ireland, this session is suitable for business owners, managers, team leaders, and HR professionals who want to promote a more inclusive work environment.
