Why Menopause is a Workplace Issue 

This session makes the case for why menopause matters at work, strategically, culturally, legally, and personally.

It’s designed for all employees and leaders, regardless of gender, and builds a powerful foundation for informed, open conversations and lasting change.

We will explore:

• The psychological and physical impact of menopause at work
• The risks of silence: lost talent, performance dips, presenteeism, and disengagement
• Legal considerations: Equality Act, Health and Safety Act, and tribunal trends
• Why menopause is a business issue, retention, productivity, and culture
•  #HotResignation and why we’re losing women at the peak of their careers
