Wellbeing: Menopause Uncovered: Serious Talk, No Sweat

THE CONVERSATION MOST WORK PLACES AREN’T HAVING:

Menopause affects more people in your workforce than you might think and most of them haven’t said a word. This practical, evidence-informed session goes beyond awareness to give Managers, Team Leaders & HR professionals the knowledge and tools to respond with confidence, compassion and clarity.

What the session covers:

• What perimenopause and menopause actually are and who they affect (it’s not just women in their fifties)
• How symptoms show up at work; confidence, performance & absence
• Early surgical and chemical menopause; debunking the assumptions that leave many women unsupported
• How to have supportive a conversation with a colleague/team member and practical adjustments that make a real difference
• What the law requires and what’s changing under the Employment Rights Act 2025
