Why
Sharon Vibert will discuss how to become a menopause friendly organisation.
It’s their mission to change the way we all think and feel about the menopause to #BreakTheBias – if we do that together today, it helps us now and the generations to come. That’s worth it for employee wellbeing and for your business. Creating a culture where menopause isn’t just talked about but is business as usual, is the future for employers.
Menopause can have an impact on us all, whether we’re experiencing menopause directly or supporting a partner, family member, friend or colleague. Research shows that the majority of those experiencing the menopause are unwilling to discuss menopause-related health problems at work or ask for any support they may need.
We will explore what the menopause is, how it affects someone at work, and how to support yourself and or colleagues by understanding what’s happening and/or providing the right signposting and support.
Sharon will discuss why it’s urgent and important to start conversations and how to talk about menopause at work and encourage others to do the same.
The session will include practical top tips, workplace adjustments and tangible next steps.
Also joining the discussion will be Leanne Illman – Head of Diversity and Inclusion at South Western Rail who has been instrumental in driving their menopause friendly workplace strategy.
