The Menopause: A Short Course for Businesses

Be the safe place for people to have discussions about menopause and mental health.

With experienced professionals often at the peak of their careers during midlife, organisations that understand menopause are better positioned to retain talent, maintain performance, and foster inclusive leadership.

By the end of the session, attendees will:

Understand the stages and symptoms of menopause

Including perimenopause, menopause and postmenopause, and how symptoms can vary widely between individuals.

Recognise the impact menopause can have on mental health

We explore how menopause can affect mood, confidence, concentration, anxiety levels, and overall wellbeing.

Protect performance through practical support

Learn how reasonable, thoughtful workplace adjustments can help employees experiencing perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause meet their needs and maintain high job performance.

This Menopause for Business session is particularly useful if you:

• Want to be better informed about menopause and its link to mental health
• Are reviewing how menopause is currently approached in your organisation
• Want to create a supportive workplace culture without overcomplicating policy
• Care about retaining and supporting team members and reducing avoidable absence
• Want to learn more as someone going through menopause
