Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace

Come along to the University of Leicester's first Menopause Cafe to meet others and chat about menopause.
The most common symptoms of the menopause after the well-known hot-flush are related to mental health, women can suffer from anxiety, panic attacks and low mood. Other symptoms can be memory loss and tiredness, symptoms really are quite varied - every woman is different.
With women working for longer and in more demanding roles, it is really important that we talk about menopause openly. Historically it has been a taboo subject and especially at work it can lead to people feeling anxious, embarrassed and isolated.
Here at University of Leicester, we've launched our <A CLASS="OWAAutoLink" HREF="https://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/hr/docs/policies/menopause-policy-guidance" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Menopause Policy</A> and held awareness sessions following the publication of our <A CLASS="OWAAutoLink" HREF="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/menopause-transition-effects-on-womens-economic-participation" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></A><A CLASS="OWAAutoLink" HREF="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/menopause-transition-effects-on-womens-economic-participation" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Menopause transition: effects on women’s economic participation</A>. Talking about menopause and raising awareness supports our University’s HeForShe commitments; creating a cultural transformation around gender and making public gender conversations, providing transparency, and actively monitoring progress.
What are we doing now?
We're holding a Menopause Cafe - an information, social meeting. Just a relaxed chat and feel free to bring along your lunch, tea, coffee or whatever you like.
