Managing Menopause in the Workplace | WorkNest Webinar

Menopause can have a significant impact on an employee’s wellbeing, confidence and ability to work, yet many people can feel uncomfortable discussing their symptoms in the workplace.

Up to a third of women experience severe menopausal symptoms that can affect their quality of life. The workplace can present particular challenges, with employees sometimes feeling unable to disclose their menopausal status due to fear of stigma, embarrassment or being treated differently.

For employers, creating a supportive and inclusive workplace is increasingly important. HR teams, employers and line managers all have a role to play in helping employees feel able to speak openly, access appropriate support and continue to thrive at work.
