Menopause at Work: Tools & Techniques (Male Manager & Colleagues Only)

Menopause affects many people at work – particularly in the VCSE and Health & Social Care sectors, where women make up 73% of the workforce. It’s up to all of us to create a supportive environment where women feel supported and included.

This workshop is designed for male managers, colleagues and volunteers only. This is a safe and confidential space to learn about menopause, understand how to support your colleagues and ask questions. We'll cover:

• Holding supportive, sensitive conversations
• Recognising menopause symptoms
• Understand the impact of menopause at work
• Knowing the law and your duty of care
• Implementing reasonable adjustments and practical support options
• Understanding workplace support and adjustments
• Where to go for further support and information

Why is this important? Around 3 in 4 menopausal women experience symptoms, and for 1 in 4 these are moderate to severe. However only 46% feel able to disclose their symptoms at work due to fear of negative perception (British Menopause Society).

Join us to improve understanding of menopause and how to advocate your wellbeing.

The workshop is fully-funded for employees of VCSE organisations and small health & social care organisations based in the Wakefield District.
