Menopause in the workplace

About this webinar
Menopausal women represent the fastest-growing demographic in the workforce. On average, menopause occurs around the age of 51, and approximately 80% of women in this phase are employed. Three out of four experience symptoms, and one in four consider leaving their jobs due to the menopause challenges.
How are organisations supporting women experiencing menopause? What resources are accessible to managers and colleagues to support women navigating this important period of their lives? How do we create a more inclusive culture? Why is male advocacy important?
