Supporting Staff through the Menopause

Did you know there are 13 million women who are peri or menopausal in the UK (Wellbeing of Women). This equates to a staggering one-third of the entire population!

As the menopause can affect so many with a wide range of physical and psychological symptoms often lasting for several years, it’s important as an employer to provide the right support for your staff.

Setting the right tone from the very beginning can make all the difference.

During the session we will be covering the following:

• What is the menopause and how could it impact on my staff?
• What are our obligations as an employer?
• How can I best support staff going through the menopause?
