Menopause Awareness for Managers and Staff
This introductory drop-in session was been designed to provide detailed guidance on key menopause topics, building from the ground up, to ensure that managers are ready and able to identify and support staff members who may be struggling with menopausal symptoms.
Menopause is a critical wellbeing issue for women at work who, most often than not, would approach their managers for support when they experience challenges. Therefore, managers need to be well equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to support staff going through menopause and prepare adequately for those approaching it.
The following themes will be covered in the session:
- What is menopause?
- Preparing for the menopause
- The most common physical, psychological and emotional symptoms
- Management options including HRT, lifestyle and alternative therapies
- Menopause in the workplace
- Signposting to support, advice and tools
