Why this training matters

Although much has been done in recent years towards addressing the taboo around menopause a, there is still a lot of work to be done to build awareness and understanding around this issue.

Almost a quarter of women leave their jobs because of the symptoms they suffer during the menopause, from sleep problems to anxiety and memory issues. The problem is only made worse when discussion around the topic is not encouraged. Employers are now acutely aware of the impact this has on their workforce and are prioritising steps to create a more supportive and open work environment for women during this phase of life.
