Sessions

  • Managing Menopause in the workplace - Julie Liddell, Managing Director, Still Human

    Menopause will affect every single woman at some point in their lives. Given that 10% of women leave their job due to symptoms of menopause, and countless others go part-time, leave leadership positions or don’t apply for promotion – menopause is of particular importance to the workplace.


    Menopause however isn’t just an issue for ‘women of a certain age’ it is a whole-

    organisation issue. Younger women, partners, colleagues, managers and senior leaders can all benefit from understanding more about menopause. 


    Only when we engage everyone in the menopause conversation will we achieve inclusivity around the issue.


    Join us in this session to gain knowledge and understanding of what menopause is, including the potential impact on physical and mental health, as well as learning how to create a more supportive and inclusive environment for those experiencing this transition.
