Event Description
Did you know that a staggering 900,000 women have quit their jobs here in the UK because of a lack of menopause support? We’re talking about talented, brilliant women (many at the pinnacle of their careers) who are jacking in their jobs (as well as their hard work) because it feels like their only option.
Not only is this devastating for these individual women, it exacerbates the pension and gender pay gap and weakens gender diversity (not to mention the small matter of the impact on the economy).
So join us on TUESDAY, APRIL 4TH AT 7.30pm for a FREE Rest Less Presents and My Menopause Centre online event when our expert panel will be discussing what needs to change.
We’ll hear from My Menopause Centre’s menopause specialist, Dr Abbie Laing, Deborah Garlick, CEO of Menopause in the Workplace, and Madhu Kapoor, founder of M for Menopause.
From how to have the conversation with your boss to practical strategies for dealing with symptoms at work, we’ll leave no menopausal stone unturned.
