Supporting Your Team Through The Menopause
How The Menopause Is Impacting The Workplace
The research is unequivocal: record numbers of women are struggling at work as they transition through the peri-menopause and menopause.
One in ten women aged 45-55 have left their job because of symptoms of the menopause. (Menopause and the Workplace report (by the Fawcett Society and Channel 4).
You’ll likely have noticed this happening in your own company. Perhaps you’re aware of colleagues struggling with their day-to-day responsibilities. Perhaps you’ve already lost some of your most valued, talented women because they felt they could no longer function at work as they used to.
This is a serious issue that is significantly impacting the workplace – and which isn’t going to go away.
Hannah Bracknall, Senior HR Business Partner, Savills
“Suzy and Jude delivered a Thriving through Menopause webinar for our employees which was so well received. Their knowledge is incredible and their enthusiasm infectious. Our team really appreciated how passionate, upbeat and engaging they are as presenters. They were both so open about their own experiences and that made them super-relatable. All the participants took away lots of great, simple tips and tricks to incorporate into their daily routines.”
