Course overview
At least 10% of women leave the workforce because menopause symptoms are misunderstood by employers (NHS England 2023). A further 39% consider leaving the workforce for this reason (Fawcett Society research 2023). In a sector that struggles to recruit we cannot afford to lose this pool of talent.
Please join our trainer, Dee Murray, for this course which will cover:
- What is the Menopause and why it affects everyone
- The impact of Menopause at work
- Menopause symptoms
- Legislation and policies
- How to support staff in the workplace
- Menopause Champions
