Menopause and Perimenopause are a natural stage of life that affect women, and currently menopausal women are the fastest demographic in the workplace. 59% of working women between the ages of 45-55yrs who are experiencing menopause symptoms say it has a negative impact on them at work (CIPD). These women are often highly experienced, yet businesses are in danger of losing top talent if appropriate support is not provided.
Menopause and Perimenopause can bring about various physical, emotional, and psychological changes that significantly impact on women’s well-being and productivity. Recognizing the importance of supporting women during this transition, we present the “Navigating Menopause at Work” workshop. This engaging and informative session aims to equip both women and employers with the knowledge and tools necessary to create a supportive and inclusive work environment.
The “Navigating Menopause at Work” workshop is designed as an interactive and collaborative session, fostering open dialogue and active participation. It will feature a combination of informative presentations, group discussions, and practical exercises to reinforce key concepts. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences, ask questions, and learn from one another.
