Join Menopause Friendly Australia’s founder, Grace Molloy and learn how you can open the conversation about perimenopause, menopause and reproductive health at work with an interactive three hour workshop. 

Menopause is not just a conversation for the over 50's. In fact, by that time, many women may have been suffering the many varied symptoms of perimenopause for a decade already!

Perceptions around menopause in Australian workplaces needs to change and a recent Senate Inquiry into Menopause and Perimenopause recommended that employers provide menopause friendly workplaces. Leading employers are adopting menopause, menstruation and reproductive health policies in response to increasing awareness of these issues in the workplace.  

Why are we talking about menopause now?

• 18% of the Australian workforce are menopause aged women
• 73% say stress and anxiety was higher during menopause
• Yet 70% of Australian women say they don’t feel comfortable talking about menopause at work
• 1 in 4 say they intend to leave work due to unaddressed menopause symptoms
• 83% say menopause has had a negative impact on their work

Come along to this interactive 3 hour workshop.

Session 1 will cover: 

1. What menopause is, how it impacts people and workplaces
2. Four compelling reasons why being menopause friendly is urgent and important

a. The demographic case

b. The business case

c. The legal case

d. The gender equality case 

3. How becoming a menopause friendly employer can enhance employee wellbeing, improve productivity and promote gender equality.

Session 2 will bring this all together:

1. Creating a menopause friendly initiative – where to start
2. Executive buy in – building your business case
3. Return on investment – calculating yours
4. The menopause friendly standards and how you can start adopting best practice.
