Life’s challenges do not always stay outside of work. Stress, relationship breakdowns, financial worries, and health concerns can all affect how people feel and perform day to day.

Our Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) gives employees 24/7 access to confidential counselling, practical advice, and a wealth of wellbeing resources. It is there for the everyday stresses as well as life’s bigger challenges, helping people feel supported and valued.

For situations that require specialist care, our Critical Incident Support and Enhanced Psychological Services provide expert help to guide employees through difficult times.

Today is World Menopause Day, a chance to highlight how menopause and perimenopause can affect life at work and why the right support matters.

Many people experience symptoms such as brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety, and hot flushes, which can impact confidence and productivity. Without understanding and adjustments in place, these challenges can lead to prolonged absence and employees feeling undervalued.

At PAM Wellness, we help employers provide effective support through:

• Menopause awareness workshops for managers and teams

• Employee Assistance Programmes for confidential counselling and advice

• Specialist menopause programme for complex mental health needs

By creating a culture where employees feel supported through every stage of life, businesses can improve retention, reduce absence, and help people thrive.
