How is your business dealing with menopause?
The Challenge
According to a CIPD report based on a survey of over 2,000 women in the UK, 67% of working women between the ages of 40 and 60 with menopausal symptoms experience a negative impact on their work performance. This includes reduced concentration, increased stress, and difficulties with patience and physical abilities, leading to frequent absences.
Further research by the Fawcett Society reports that one in ten women has even considered resigning from their job because of the severity of their symptoms. At its core, supporting menopause in the workplace isn't merely an act of empathy but also a step towards fostering a fair and inclusive environment for all .
Our research indicates that this impacts on men too and the increasing number of people working post menopause. Kathryn Colas Menopause Academy focuses on long term solutions, by delivering professional training into the workplace with measurable outcomes.
- Raising awareness of menopause has been shown to have positive long-term benefits on equality, diversity and inclusion
- Being proactive and forward thinking prior to potential legislative changes, demonstrates long term commitment to employees
- Successful programmes begin with opportunities for knowledge sharing and collaboration to ensure inclusivity.
- Having your own trained menopause coaches, ambassadors and champions within your organisation ensures professional management for the long term.
We offer support through menopause training, customised webinars, and one-on-one consultations.
