Managing Menopause in the Workplace

59% of women aged 45-55 say menopause symptoms negatively affect them at work.

Menopause transition symptoms can highly affect performance at work, and the right attitude and support from managers can play a significant role in women experiencing menopause. For that reason, it is important for everyone in the workplace to understand menopause and to promote a healthy and supportive working environment.

The word "Menopause" should not cause embarrassment and discomfort amongst managers in the workplace. On the contrary, staff should have access to the help and support they need.

This course will include:

-Background on Menopause physical, mental, and cognitive symptoms

-How can Menopause affect your staff’s performance at work

-How can Menopause affect your teams' performance at work

-What legislation covers dealing with Menopause in the workplace

-How to start a conversation about menopause in the workplace

-Interactive discussions on actual workplace scenarios:

• how to deal with situations in the workplace;

• pitfalls to avoid in the workplace.

In this interactive course, the trainer uses a well-received "open discussion" approach by encouraging each individual to share their thoughts on best practices for menopause-related training in the workplace.

See the bellow's testimonials to find out what delegates from Housing Associations in Scotland liked:

“Great information for enhancing existing wellbeing procedures that are in place. Good group input with additional ideas to consider.”

“This course provided real insight into what was happening to me at home and at work and enabled me to take control of my outlook and reactions. In particular, thanks to the facilitator, Emma, who was refreshingly open and honest about her experience with menopause, I no longer hide how I’m feeling, nor do I feel embarrassed or ashamed - I own my menopause symptoms and my team have responded so positively to this. The topic is now openly discussed and more and more women in the workforce are willing to share their experiences which means we can deal with them before they become problems.”

"Trainers knowledge and the safe space the trainer created to ensure meeting everyone needs and the opportunity for open /safe conversations."

Every attendee will receive a complimentary copy of our Strategic Wellbeing Guide and there will be open discussion throughout, a safe space where no question is wrong and nothing needs to feel uncomfortable or taboo. And yes - there will be teas, coffees and biscuits too.
