Webinar with Sally Higham

‘Menopause In the Workplace: A Talent Issue, Not a Women's Issue' with Sally Higham

• By 2025, over 1 billion women will be menopausal or post-menopausal – that is NOW
• 47 million enter menopause each year.
• 3 in 4 women experience symptoms lasting 4-10 years.
• 80% say symptoms impact their quality of life.
• 1 in 3 UK women aged 50-64 take an average of 3 days off due to
  menopause symptoms.
• Potential loss of 14 million workdays across the UK female workforce.
• Women over 50 are the fastest-growing workforce segment.

It is something that WILL happen to every female in the world at some point in their life.

It is NOT an illness; it is a natural life event.

So WHY do we feel embarrassed or even ashamed to talk about it both at home and especially in the workplace.

Only WHEN we have figured out what this steam train is and why it is happening to us can we all start to turn a corner.

Hoping by SHARING my journey, which started in Singapore and continues here in Basel, Switzerland, more of you will JOIN ME as we change the narrative in the workplace and shake the shame.

Founder - Sally Higham Advisory

With over 25 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, HR, and Employer Branding, I have dedicated my career to helping organisations attract and retain top talent. My journey began in London, at recruitment advertising agencies before moving into consulting within an Recruitment Process Outsourcing organisation.

In 2011, I relocated to Singapore, then in 2017, I transitioned to an in-house role at British American Tobacco and in 2020, I returned to Europe joining Lonza in Basel, Switzerland, where I embraced a new industry and continued my passion for talent attraction.

Training as an Executive Menopause Coach (CPD certified) in 2023 and still navigating the menopause myself, I am committed to using my lived experience, along with my extensive professional background, to shake the shame and change the narrative around menopause in the workplace and society. Together, we can create environments where every woman feels supported and empowered to thrive
