Gender-inclusive workplaces boost economic participation and help us to tap into valuable skills and talent. Many employees will face the menopause at a critical point in their careers and a lack of support can halt their progression and impact business culture.
We collaborated with Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce, DLA Piper and Women in Banking and Finance to provide a free Menopause in the workplace webinar.
The webinar provided help, support and guidance to those experiencing the menopause, their leaders and employers around how to create a more diverse and gender-inclusive culture. By taking the menopause seriously, discussing it openly and putting policies in place to support their employees, businesses can mitigate the potential negative impact of symptoms for their employees and provide support. This will improve job satisfaction and reduce absence through sickness
Key topics covered include:
- the business case for providing support
- specific laws and legal guidance on menopause in the workplace
- case law examples dealing with disability, sex and age discrimination and outcomes
- how to set up and introduce a menopause policy within your business
- first-hand experience of the menopause and practical tips to cope
- a Q&A session with our panel of experts.
