Understanding Menopause in the Workplace | Level 2

The menopause is having a huge impact on women in the working world - and it's something that half of the population will go through at some point in their lives.

Course Overview

Recent research found that 30% of women surveyed had taken sick leave because of their menopause symptoms - but only a quarter felt like they could talk to their manager about their absence. A survey by People Management found that 1 in 10 women have left work due to their symptoms - and with women over 50 being the fastest growing demographic in the workplace, education around menopause is key to supporting women to stay in work.

Throughout this course, you will learn how to understand menopause, understand the challenges of menopause in the workplace, and symptom management.
