Menopause in the Workplace: Seminar and Discussion
We’re pleased to invite you to a seminar exploring the experience of menopause in the workplace.
Our keynote speaker is Professor Rebecca Jones from Henley Business School, who will share insights from her research on menopause at work, with a focus on how coaching can support those going through the menopause and improve workplace wellbeing.
Alongside Professor Jones, we’ll hear from a range of speakers who will offer perspectives from research, Human Resources (HR), and workplace policy. The session will provide an opportunity to learn more about how menopause is being approached in different settings, and what good practice might look like in supporting colleagues through this life stage.
This session is open to all staff and aims to create a supportive space for learning, discussion and reflection. Whether you are experiencing the menopause yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply want to learn more, we encourage you to come along.
Sign up details to be confirmed - please hold this date in your diary for now
