In this webinar Dr Ginni and Shelly will cover things like:
- What is menopause? How is it different to perimenopause?
- What is medically induced menopause?
- Who can and can’t take HRT?
- Non-hormonal medications and lifestyle changes
- How does it affect people at work?
- How can workplaces help?
LinkedIn announced it was in the top 10 workplace issues for 2023. The biggest myth is that menopause is an old person’s problem. The average woman will start to have symptoms of peri/menopause from between the age of 45-54 which is often when women are at the prime of their career.
40% of women feel that peri/menopause symptoms negatively affect their performance at work. As a result, 10% of these women actually leave the workforce altogether because of their symptoms, and a further 14% reduce their hours and even 8% sidestep a promotion. Many also report suffering a crisis in confidence.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. Dr Ginni and Shelly will offer practical solutions and strategies to help women experiencing peri and menopause symptoms. Whether it be recognising the symptoms in yourself or being aware of what to look out for when the time comes or becoming educated on how to support others. This webinar is for everyone.
Together we can remove the stigma around peri/menopause and lift the lid on this very real issue impacting workplaces to improve wellbeing and workplace performance.
*We refer to cisgender women but acknowledge that menopause impacts some individuals in the trans and non-binary community.
