Many organisations talk about gender equality and promoting women, particularly older and more experienced women. But what does this look like in practice? What are the practical steps to supporting women in the workplace and how can barriers to success be overcome?
One highly effective strategy is making your organization menopause friendly. Menopausal women are one of the fastest growing in today’s workplace, and research has shown that nearly two-thirds of women have taken time off work due to their symptoms, with some even leaving their jobs due to not being supported in their workplace.
In this interactive, sharing-focused session hosted by VinciWorks, our compliance experts will take you through the steps your organisation can take to become menopause friendly.
We also want to hear from you. Whether it’s about your own experience of menopause at work, or what your organisation has done (or hasn’t done) to make the workplace more menopause friendly.
The Menopause forum will also discuss practical ideas and share guidance on how to implement a menopause leave policy to environmental factors which can affect a workplace, this session will inform you on why making your organisation menopause friendly is a cost-effective, impactful and necessary initiative.
This session will cover:
- The basics of menopause as a diversity and inclusion issue
- Building a coalition for progressive menopause change in an organisation
- Countering common myths, stigmas and stereotypes (there’s no such thing as the male menopause!)
- Top tips for implementing a menopause leave policy
- Tackling environmental, organisational and cultural factors on menopause
- Sharing your experiences and answering your questions
