Menopause at work Archives

Openness about menopause—talking about, demystifying, destigmatizing, and normalizing it—is good for society as a whole, and especially for those directly affected by it: ALL women.

After all, we normalized pregnancy and are destigmatizing mental health in the workplace, aren’t we? Let’s do the same with menopause.

This is such an important topic and, finally, we are able to talk about it openly, without shame or embarrassment.

Well, some of us are and we hope you will join us.

Employers who care about their employees should implement policies aimed at supporting those who are going through the menopause transition and experiencing symptoms. It is crucial to create a supportive environment that caters to their specific needs during this inevitable phase of life.

Women should be actively encouraged to seek assistance in managing their menopausal symptoms, and they should be well-informed about the various resources available to guide them through this transition.

Providing access to information and resources will empower women to make informed decisions regarding their management options and overall well-being.

How can YOU help normalize menopause in YOUR workplace?

Start by offering, or by helping to organize, an awareness session (Lunch & Learn, Health & Wellness talk/workshop, Employee Day/Week) about menopause for employees in your workplace.

What about organizing a Lunch N Learn to celebrate WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY (#WMD), October 18th ? This year’s theme is Cardiovascular Disease.

Contrary to common belief, more women die of heart disease than of breast cancer. Most people don’t know this fact.

Science also shows that women with untreated hot flashes and night sweats are at increased risk for #heartdisease.

WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY (#WMD), October 18th, presents a great opportunity to organize a heath and wellness event about menopause for your team.

Feel free to reach out (email me – teresa at menopaused dot org) if you’re interested in having me deliver a talk at your workplace (in-person or virtually) on or near this date.

Due to the high demand for presentations about menopause in October, I recommend securing your booking well in advance. DM or email me for more details.

You may not have been directly affected by menopause but I bet someone you know, work with, live with, or are friends with has. That’s because ALL women experience menopause, if they live long enough.

And since women make up half the population, I can guarantee that you know someone affected by menopause.

This is why openness about menopause—talking about, demystifying, destigmatizing, and normalizing it—is good for society as a whole, and especially for those directly affected by it: ALL women.

After all, we normalized pregnancy and are destigmatizing mental health in the workplace, aren’t we? Let’s do the same with menopause.

This is such an important topic and, finally, we are able to talk about it openly, without shame or embarrassment.

Well, some of us are and we hope you will join us.

Here’s a shout-out to CBC Radio morning hosts in Quebec City, London, Calgary, Whitehorse, Vancouver, Victoria, and other cities across Canada who interviewed me about menopause in the workplace.

You can listen to my conversation on Daybreak South (Kelowna) with host @Chris Walker on (May 31^st, 2023, min 36:45 ).

How can YOU help normalize menopause in YOUR workplace?

Start by offering, or by helping to organize, an awareness session (Lunch & Learn, Health & Wellness talk/workshop, Employee Day/Week) about menopause for employees in your workplace.

You may think that a session about menopause at your workplace isn’t needed but you’d be surprised at how well-received these sessions are. I know that as a fact – I’ve delivered many 60-90-minute talks about menopause and there’s never enough time to answer all the questions attendees have and wish to ask.

Such interest in the topic doesn’t surprise me because menopause has been shrouded in secrecy and women experiencing it feel very lonely and isolated. When they finally have the opportunity to attend a presentation that provides awareness and education about menopause they feel “normal”, validated, and empowered.

How can you offer or help organize a Let’s Talk About Menopause session at your workplace?

Easy – send me an email or book a Discovery Call so we can talk about a session (LunchNLearn, Health & Wellness, etc.) menopause at the workplace, in-person or online.
