About this session
Perimenopause and menopause can affect sleep, energy, temperature regulation, concentration, memory, mood, confidence, menstrual patterns and physical comfort.
The combination, intensity and duration of symptoms vary considerably, so no single menopause experience or support plan works for everyone.
Workplace conditions can make symptoms easier or harder to manage. Long meetings, rigid schedules, shift work, travel, heat, uniforms, limited toilet access, physically demanding duties and a lack of privacy can create additional barriers during the working day.
This session helps participants understand their own experience, identify the areas creating the greatest disruption and test practical strategies that fit their role and working environment.
It also supports clearer healthcare and workplace conversations without placing pressure on anyone to disclose personal information.
