University of Galway is a family friendly university and workplace; we acknowledge life is a journey marked by distinct stages we experience. Each stage brings its own unique challenges, opportunities, and discoveries that contribute to our overall development.

Some of those transformative phases take place within our working life.

The University of Galway acknowledges those phases and provides additional support through its employee assistance service, policy recognition and flexible working arrangements.

Please check out some of the supports available to all staff.

The University of Galway has completed extensive consultation with their staff about Menopause, reasonable accommodations for staff, manger supports and up to date research through the roundtable discussions with staff.
