Employment Rights Act 2025

UK employers with 250 or more employees will be expected to publish a Gender Equality Action Plan (GEAP) from Spring 2027. The statutory duty applies to menopause; government guidance encourages employers to extend their plans to endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids, and fertility. HHEI's employer partnerships address the full multi-condition remit.

EAP and platform partners

HHEI works alongside existing Employee Assistance Programmes rather than replacing them. If you are an EAP provider, benefits platform, or health tech company, we have written a detailed guide to how we integrate.

What you can commission

One-size-fits-all workforce health approaches miss large parts of the workforce. South Asian and Black employees, lower socioeconomic groups, and employees managing conditions that sit outside standard menopause frameworks all need an approach that reflects their actual clinical and cultural reality.

How we work with the partners you already have

HHEI is built to integrate, not to replace. Typical collaborations include:

  • Your existing OH provider, adding the integrated multi-condition hormonal-health clinical layer
  • Your EAP and benefits platform, providing the integrated module they don't currently hold
  • Your HR, DEI, and clinical governance functions, supporting GEAP evidence and policy
  • Your ERGs and women's networks, community-grounded education shaped by expert-by-experience input

Questions

Workplace hormonal health: frequently asked

  • GEAPs were introduced under the Employment Rights Act 2025 and apply to UK employers with 250 or more employees, roughly the same population that publishes gender pay gap data. Mandatory publication is currently expected from Spring 2027, with a voluntary phase already open. The statutory duty applies specifically to menopause; government guidance encourages extension to endometriosis, PCOS, fibroids and fertility.
