Understanding Menopause: Health, Work and Support
Explore how menopause and mid-life changes impact wellbeing, work and how employers can offer the right support
About the webinar
By 2030, over half of the UK workforce will be aged 50+. For the 4million women in the UK aged 45-55, up to 94% experience symptoms at work, with two-thirds saying it negatively impacts their working life.
Our Life100+ research shows optimism is high in early adulthood but can fall mid-life as financial, family and career pressure peak.
Around 80% of women experience perimenopause or menopause symptoms during this life stage, adding health challenges to an already critical career period. So how can you support employees to navigate these challenges?
Join us and Dr Victoria Grinstead, a UK-based GP with experience across the NHS and telehealth to:
- Understand the key stages of perimenopause and menopause, including symptoms and their impact on overall health
- Recognise how hormonal changes affect multiple body systems
- Identify workplace implications, including how menopause can influence performance, absence and employee retention
- Apply practical steps to create a supportive work environment
