Career breaks are an ordinary part of our working lives. Whether planned or unexpected, 90,000 people in the UK take them each year,[1] for all kinds of reasons – growing families, caring responsibilities, health, education, or a change of direction.
Taking a career break may be normal, but talking about the long-term impact on financial wellbeing isn’t. And time away from work can have a significant effect on retirement savings – particularly for women.
That’s why, this International Women’s Day, we’re shining a light on career breaks. We’ll delve into the impact on pensions, the gender pension gap, and why providing menopause support at work should be non-negotiable.
This guide is also full of ways you can support your employees to make informed choices as they navigate their own time-out. Because ultimately, everyone has the right to feel empowered about their financial future.
