Menopause in the Workplace
For too long the menopause has been a taboo. The lack of information and a culture of silence means that many people do not disclose their menopause status, and as a result, employers are unable to fully support them in the workplace. A culture of silence means the impact of the menopause is hidden. Organisations are losing talent because of the menopause. With the right support, people can stay and progress in the workplace.
Menopause support at work really is a win-win situation. For employers, it helps to recruit and retain valuable staff, protects them from tribunal and demonstrates they are a responsible organisation and a great place to work. For employees, it means they can access support if they need it, with no fears or embarrassment of raising the subject of menopause at work.
This taster session will cover:
- The importance of considerations from menopause in the workplace
- The business case for investment in menopause awareness and education
- Menopause information and understanding
- The symptoms of menopause and their potential impact of those with a workplace
It is suitable for those who are experiencing menopause themselves or providing support for a partner, family member, friend or colleague.
The session will be delivered by Morna Ronnie of The People Portfolio who is a licenced trainer with Henpicked Menopause in the Workplace.
