How to Support Menopausal Employees - Starting the Conversation

Introduction

Although recent UK case law has started to shine the spotlight on the growing number of women discussing the menopause and its effect on their work life, many employers still do not know where to start in terms of how best to support those coping with menopausal symptoms.

Does this sound like you?

Are you embarrassed, or do you feel uncomfortable discussing a topic you know little about?

Are you afraid of saying the wrong thing and doing more harm than good?

Menopause has long been viewed as a taboo topic, rarely broached, and never discussed in the workplace, so these reactions are understandable, but they are also preventing you from providing your employees with the help and support they need.

It’s time to discuss the menopause in a frank and open manner.

This new virtual classroom seminar will show you how to start the conversation and will provide you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to support your workforce.
