Many organisations discuss gender equality and promoting women,
particularly older and more experienced women. But what does this
look like in practice? What are the practical steps to supporting
older women in the workplace, and how can barriers to success be
overcome?
One highly effective strategy is making your organisation menopause
friendly. Older women are one of the fastest growing in today’s
workplace, and research has shown that nearly two-thirds of women
have taken time off work due to their symptoms, with some even
leaving their jobs due to not being supported in their
workplace.
In this episode, VinciWorks compliance experts will take you
through the steps your organisation can take to become menopause
friendly. From implementing a menopause leave policy to
environmental factors affecting a workplace, this session will
inform you on why making your organisation menopause friendly is a
cost-effective, impactful and necessary initiative.
The episode will feature an interview with Dr Rebecca Lewis from
the highly respected Newson Health Menopause and Wellbeing
Centre.

- The basics of menopause as a diversity and inclusion issue
- Building a coalition for progressive menopause change in an
organisation
- Countering common myths, stigmas and stereotypes
