The symptoms which can occur during the menopause can often last several years, and the Faculty of Occupational Medicine notes that almost 80% of menopausal women are in work. Despite menopause now being discussed, we’re not always as clued up about what it really looks like in the workplace, with plenty of misconceptions abounding about its impact.

In this workshop, we look at the key symptoms of the menopause, exploring how they can affect every aspect of a woman’s life. We will identify what we can do to provide support to colleagues going through the menopause and we will learn 3 key strategies to help colleagues in the workplace. Our evidence base is from the British Menopause Society, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and NHS website.
