Menstruation and menopause in the workplace: Awareness training for managers
Menopause can have an effect on us all, whether we’re experiencing menopause directly or supporting a family member, friend or colleague. With the average age of menopause being 51, many people are experiencing menopause at work and we want to create an inclusive workplace in which we support one another to be our best.
While some will sail through menopause, 3 in 4 experience symptoms and as many as 1 in 4 have serious symptoms. However, around half have never consulted a healthcare professional about their menopause.
Menstruation and menstrual health are no different, with many managing symptoms and menstruation related health conditions alone.
Research also shows that the majority of those experiencing menopause are unwilling to discuss menopause-related health problems with their managers or ask for any support they may need. It is a similar situation for those experiencing menstruation symptoms or who have associated menstrual health conditions.
We’re passionate about the wellbeing of our colleagues and want our managers to feel comfortable talking about menopause openly, so please join this webinar ‘Menopause and Menstruation Awareness for Managers’.
This webinar covers:
- Why organisations need to support menopause and menstruation in the workplace.
- What menopause is, how to recognise the symptoms and how someone may be affected by menopause.
- What menstruation and menstrual health conditions are and what they can mean to those experiencing them in the workplace.
- The options available to manage symptoms and long-term health.
- What support is available and how colleagues can access it, both at work and outside work.
- How to have supportive conversations with colleagues about menopause and menstruation.
