It’s World Menopause Day, and as our co-CEO Deborah Croft puts it, menopause is a "moment that matters" in every woman’s life. Companies that recognise and address its impact will create more inclusive, supportive workplaces, directly influencing retention. With women aged 45-55 being the fastest-growing workforce demographic and over 1 billion women expected to be in menopause by 2025, this issue can't be ignored. Sophrology - a blend of meditation, breathing, and visualisation - offers effective support during menopause. This simple, practical technique helps ease over 34 physical and psychological symptoms, from hot flushes to anxiety. With just 10 minutes of daily practice, sophrology helps women manage stress, boost mental clarity, and nurture a positive outlook during this life stage. By promoting well-being, employers can ensure their workforce thrives throughout menopause, enhancing performance and satisfaction.

Meet Catherine Hickel, MA, PCC, our Senior Partner for Training and Coaching at Thriving Talent, who delivers impactful workshops, trainings, and individual coaching sessions across Switzerland virtually and in person. Fluent in French and English, Catherine engages with a diverse range of industries and functions, focusing on a wide array of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) topics. Catherine says: "The most rewarding aspect of my work comes from witnessing the tangible impact of the pragmatic tools and concrete solutions I provide. Seeing participants embrace new ideas and commit to implementing them is incredibly fulfilling. After +10 years, +2500 hours of coaching and hundreds of workshops with managers, new parents, high potentials, and professionals of all horizons, I still take great pride in the successes of my coaches - whether they’re achieving career milestones, navigating challenging conversations, or making significant life transitions. The heartfelt updates I receive months later about promotions, new babies, new roles or dreams coming to fruition reaffirm the value of our programs. Beyond DEI, I am actively engaged in various areas, including talent management, talent acquisition (including inclusive recruitment, having worked in executive search consulting for 10 years), Learning and Development and Positive Intelligence. One area I find particularly intriguing is our focus on advancing women in the workplace. I believe that creating opportunities for women with potential is essential for any organization striving to be an employer of choice. While the business case is clear for investing in the diversity and inclusion of leadership teams, gender equality at work is not progressing fast enough, especially in light of Switzerland's evolving workforce demographics. This is why I am a strong advocate for female-only leadership programs. Should you wish to know more, feel free to download our recent comprehensive whitepaper, '5 reasons why women are leaving your company and what to do about it.' I am eager to connect and hear more about how your organisation promotes the advancement of talented women. Let’s explore how we can work together to build a more inclusive future!"
