This equates to potentially catastrophic effects on economic turnover and long-term impacts on mental health. Recent reforms have recognised that employees experiencing menopausal symptoms are safeguarded under existing provisions of the Equality Act 2010.

This session will cover the potential impact of menopause on work, legal obligations, how best to support employees going through the menopause, and how to foster an environment that promotes inclusivity and employee retention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating Workplace Menopause Champions (2 hour session) \u2013 understand and recognise the signs of menopause and know how best to support your work colleagues. Champions will learn how to have sensitive conversations, be the first point of contact for colleagues struggling with menopausal symptoms and be able to signpost within the organisation and externally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-background has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:47px;background-color:#d7abab;min-height:0px;margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\">\n<p><em><strong>Other Industry Services<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Consult on workplace policies around menopause in the workplace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide menopause advice and support to HR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provide bespoke resources for events and in-house training.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lowdown Women of menopausal age are the fastest growing UK working demographic, yet 25% of women have considered leaving work because of menopause symptoms.
