Menopause is a chapter of every woman’s life, and with 80% of women experiencing menopausal symptoms it can also mean that many partners, colleagues, friends also experience menopause indirectly. It can be a difficult time knowing when, how or what to do to support so I hope this is a helpful guide.
I’m joined by Steve Foulger (Director of HR Services & Organisational Design at Connor) – you may have heard my episode about menopause in the workplace with Steve for Connor Conversations podcast (link below if you haven’t) but this time we’re switching roles and Steve is guest and so I’d like to know his thoughts on menopause in the workplace and his experience of supporting women going through the menopause.
Menopause awareness is building in terms of awareness of symptom management options and also how partners, friends and colleagues can support women through this chapter. If you follow me on social media you may have seen I spoke at the BMS annual conference in Apr. I spoke about nutrition and menopause, and as a menopause specialist (in addition to being a nutritionist) I’m passionate about supporting both women and the workplace to raise awareness.
If you’d like menopause awareness webinars for employees, manager training or menopause 1:1 consultations in your workplace reach out to me at hello@managingthechange.co.uk
