Target audience:

This training is designed for both male and female employees.
It will help managers and team leaders to better understand how they can support those going through peri menopause and menopause, and HR departments who want to better understand how they can amend or create policies to include the menopause.

Course overview:

Menopausal women are the fastest growing demographic in the workplace. These women are at the peak of their careers, with a broad skillset and years of experience under their belt. They are at the top of their game and yet due to a lack of support in the workplace and outdated policies which do not factor in the debilitating symptoms a quarter of them will experience, they are leaving in masses.
The aim of this training is to raise awareness of the menopause, understand how it affects women in the workplace and learn how to support team members who are experiencing symptoms. The workshop encourages discussions on why we need to address the stigma surrounding menopause and what organisations can do to support their female employees.

Please note that the course does NOT include any medical advice.
