From Stigma to Support – Menopause and the Future of Work

Menopause is a natural life stage that affects more than 20% of today’s workforce, yet it remains one of the most overlooked drivers of well‑being, performance, and retention. This event sheds light on how organizations can move from silence to support by understanding the real impact menopause has on energy, focus, emotional health, and workplace participation.

Join us to explore how forward‑thinking employers are creating cultures where employees feel understood, valued, and equipped to thrive through every career stage. Whether you’re early in your career, leading a team, or shaping organizational strategy, you’ll gain insights that strengthen workplace culture, inclusion, and long‑term talent sustainability.

Attend if you're interested in:

• The hidden impact of menopause on the modern workforce
• Insights into how others have built a more supportive workplace
• How you can strengthen inclusion, retention, and team culture
