The GSA Supporting the Menopause webinar saw our amazing panel discuss how companies can create a positive culture in the workplace to ensure women can be vocal about the menopause, can raise awareness of the symptoms and impacts of the menopause and detailed what resources are out there to support employees going through the menopause. If you haven't already, watch the webinar here.
10% of women suffering symptoms think about giving up work - this is often because they are wrongly diagnosed by GPs - the menopause is an option for doctors to study not mandatory! Many of our attendees said they were prescribed anti-depressants and not HRT. Awareness of symptoms is still too low not to give this subject more space for now. It’s a massive hole in most companies Inclusion and Diversity programmes.
This event is the first of the GSA's Open Cafe's, which aim to provide an open and informal setting for our members to share both the challenges, and the positive experiences of the menopause.
