Let's talk about menopause

Menopause is often regarded as a private, even taboo subject, and one which has nothing to do with employment. But there are four reasons why employers need to pay careful attention to the menopause.

Join The Open University’s Professor Jo Brewis as she outlines these demographic, economic, legal and social responsibility cases. She’ll also reflect on recent research findings and will discuss how employers can support their staff going through menopause.

Jo will be joined by Julie Glyn-Jones, Registered Nurse of Henpicked Menopause In The Workplace, who will bust the myths and explain the facts around menopause.
