The menopause is when a person’s periods stop due to decreased production of the hormone oestrogen, typically occurring in someone’s 40s or 50s. It brings physical and emotional symptoms, including hot flushes, sleep problems, mood changes, and more.
The symptoms, ranging from mild to severe, can last for years and significantly impact an employee's productivity, job satisfaction, and overall wellbeing in the workplace. Understanding the menopause and its effects is vital in fostering an inclusive, supportive work environment, enabling the introduction of necessary measures to help those experiencing the menopause feel comfortable and supported. We offer three virtual courses to support the menopause in the workplace:
- Online Employee Menopause Training: This course provides a comprehensive review of the menopause, its symptoms, and its potential impact on staff. Additionally, it offers guidance on how to start discussions about the menopause and advises ways to provide support.
- Online Manager Menopause Training: This course equips line managers with the necessary tools to support their teams effectively. Beyond the content from the awareness session, we explore subjects like UK's menopause employment law, reasonable workplace adjustments, and strategies for fostering a menopause-friendly work environment.
- Online Menopause Café: This online session, guided by a seasoned trainer, will provide an awareness of the menopause and aims to fosters open dialogue about personal experiences. Its goal is to increase awareness and decrease reluctance to discuss issues surrounding the menopause.
These interactive online webinar sessions, accessible from the comfort of your home or office, allow participants to engage in real-time discussions, ask questions, and share experiences, fostering an open dialogue about this natural biological process.
